We're Here to Help You Get Licensed, Anywhere in Australia

Licensing Advice is a specialist service for construction industry licensing in Australia. We help tradies, builders, and small business owners navigate the process of getting licensed, no matter which state or territory you're applying in.

We get it. Licensing laws are different in every state and they’re not always easy to understand. That’s where we come in. Our team breaks it all down and guides you through your own customised licensing pathway.

Whether you're applying for the first time or looking to expand your business into other states, we’ll help you figure out:

  • What licensing pathways you qualify for
  • What steps you need to take
  • And how to give your application the best chance of success


Already Licensed in One State?

We can map your qualifications and experience across to another state, identifying:

  • What transfers and what doesn’t
  • Any gap training or additional documentation you might need
  • The fastest and easiest pathway to get approved in another state


Not Licensed Yet?

If you’re starting from scratch but want to set yourself up for national licensing, we’ll guide you through:

  • The entry requirements in each state
  • Which qualifications are mutually recognised
  • What it’ll cost and how long it’ll take


  • Can I use my existing licence to apply in another state?

    Often yes, but it depends on which state you’re licensed in and where you're applying. Some states accept qualifications or licences from others, but not all of them. We’ll check what carries over and what you might need to add, then guide you through the process.

  • What if I want to get licensed in multiple states at once?

    That’s what we’re here for. We’ll create a step-by-step plan to help you get licensed in every state you want to operate in. You’ll know what’s needed for each state, and we’ll handle all the applications for you so you don’t have to repeat the same process over and over.

  • What is the Application Process?

    It starts with a free consult so we can understand your goals. Then we assess your experience, prepare your documents, and submit your application to the right state authority. If the regulator asks for more info or needs an interview, we help you get through it.

  • How would Licensing Advice Help?

    We take care of the lot. That includes prepping your application, chasing up referees, dealing with the regulator, and keeping you updated the whole way. We give you a clear plan that suits your experience and where you want to get licensed.

  • Why Use Licensing Advice?

    We make licensing simple. Whether you're applying in one state or several, we take the stress out of the process by handling the paperwork, guiding you through the requirements, and dealing with the regulator on your behalf. No extra training needed, just your experience on the tools.

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.
