Chemical Users Permit & 1080/PAPP Courses October 2026

Posted on 25 August, 2026 by Hadley Cole

As part of the Partnerships Against Pests project, Connecting Country is offering subsidised Agricultural Chemical Skill Set and 1080/PAPP Vertebrate Pest Baiting Training. Ag Skills Victoria will deliver the training over two Saturdays in October at the cost of only $50 per course (usually over $300 per course).

The Chemical Users Skills Set is the industry standard for training in chemical use, storage and handling and incorporates a blend of theory and practical training and assessment and is a prerequisite to the 1080 & PAPP Vertebrate Pest Training. On completion of both courses you will be eligible to apply to Agriculture Victoria for an Agricultural Chemical Users Permit (ACUP) with a 1080 endorsement.

*Please note if you already hold an ACUP received with prior training, you can sign up to complete the 1080 & PAPP course to gain endorsement for use.
