Why?
Each state has its own methods of "licencing" for specific under the national standard. http://www.safeworkaustralia.gov.au/NR/rdonlyres/F95A8A5B-9A56-45F5-90F6-B59C00E2F214/0/NationalStandardLicPersonsPerfHighRiskWk_2006.pdf) Some states also have "state based" tickets such as the earthmoving classes in NSW.
Although the national licences allow operation of the specified equipment throughout Australia each state has different methods of licencing. It is a good idea to refer to your states OHS bodies website.

In general the log book system is being phased out in all states. Enrolment in the approved course is first required. (http://www.workcover.nsw.gov.au/Training/AccreditedCourse/Pages/changestrainingassessment.aspx)
Operating unlicensed is not only a breach of the OHS regulations but is will also negate your insurance policies.
In regards to Refresher Training Australian Standard AS2359 Part2 specifies that an employer should provide regular refresher training.
