How long does a licence last
The licence period starts on 1 February of one calendar year and expires 31 January of the following year. It's the applicant’s responsibility to renew the licence before its expiry each year.
Failure to renew the licence before the expiry date will mean that the licence will lapse and a new application will be required, which will attract a higher fee. More importantly, it means that you must stop providing licensable treatments until the new application is determined.
