Why Register with the VBA?
Being a registered builder in Victoria sets you apart as a qualified professional, authorised to carry out building work legally and safely. The Victorian Building Authority (VBA) requires registration for any work valued over $10,000 or that involves multiple trades. Without it, you risk legal consequences, including fines and prosecution.

What is the Application Process?
To obtain a Domestic Builders Registration in Victoria, Australia, you need to follow a process overseen by the Victorian Building Authority (VBA). Here are the general steps:
- Eligibility Check: Confirm that you meet the eligibility criteria set by the VBA. This typically includes having the necessary qualifications, experience, and financial standing.
- Complete Relevant Qualifications: You may need to complete specific qualifications relevant to your registration, often including a Certificate III or an equivalent qualification from a registered training organisation (RTO).
- Experience: Demonstrate sufficient experience in your trade. This usually requires working under a licensed builder to gain the required experience hours.
- Financial Checks: Ensure you meet the financial requirements set by the VBA, which may involve providing evidence of financial stability and meeting any required financial thresholds.
- Apply for the Licence: Once you've met all the eligibility criteria, you can apply for your Domestic Builders Registration through the VBA. This involves submitting an application form along with all required supporting documents and fees.
- Panel Interview: Depending on your qualifications and experience, you may need to pass a technical examination administered by the VBA.
- Approval and Issuance: If your application is successful and you meet all the requirements, the VBA will approve your licence application, and you'll be issued your Domestic Builders Registration.
It's crucial to carefully review the specific requirements outlined by the VBA and seek professional guidance if you have any questions or concerns during the application process.
