They need to complete Form PL2 Application For Item Registration of Lift / Escalator and Moving Walkway. A fee of $65 is charged for a lift installed in a public place. There is no fee for a stairlift installed in a private residence for use by a person with a disability. The applicant must state that the plant has been inspected by a competent person and is safe to operate (use).
