Applying for a ACT licence through Access Canberra.

For those looking to obtain a minor trade or builder's license in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), understanding the process might seem complex. But don't worry, we're here to simplify it for you.


Understanding if You're Eligible:

Determining if you qualify for a builder's license in the ACT is crucial. Access Canberra is the regulatory body overseeing this process, and they have specific criteria you must meet. Ensuring you meet all the requirements from the start is essential for a successful application.


Knowing if You Really Need It:

Not every job in the building industry requires a license in the ACT. Some smaller tasks or maintenance work may not need one. However, if you aspire to become a builder or work on significant projects, obtaining a builder's license through Access Canberra is necessary.

How Licensing Advice Works

1

Enquire with Us

Book a free 15 minute consultation with our in-house licensing experts.

2

Assessment Stage

We’ll complete an over the phone work experience assessment to confirm your qualifications, experience and eligibility for the available options to get your application across the line.

3

Preparation Stage

Provide your documents and we’ll prepare the entire application. If you have referees, we’ll contact them and help draft their statements.

4

Application Submission

We’ll handle the application submission, track progress, and keep you updated. If the regulator needs more information or makes an error, we’ll assist you at no extra cost.

5

Panel Interview or Exam

You may be required to attend a panel interview or exam (depending on the state we apply in). Our team will prepare you thoroughly, ensuring you are confident and ready to succeed.

6

Checklist

After lodgement, you may receive a “Checklist” letter requesting extra information or documents. We’ll decode the jargon, translate it into plain English, and prepare the response. If the regulator has misunderstood your application or made an error, we’ll dispute it for you.

Licence Issued

Success! Once approved, the state regulator issues your brand new licence. You are now licensed in your chosen field.
