As with all trades and professionals, there are different levels of qualification for operators and consultants. If you are employing a consultant, they must be qualified to AQF (Australian Qualification Framework) Level 5 Diploma in Horticulture (Arboriculture). If you want a tree removed or pruned professionally, your arborist must be qualified to minimum AQF Level 3 in Arboriculture or AQF Level 3 in Horticulture (Arboriculture).
