Common Questions
Common Questions
You need the QBCC carpentry licence that matches how you work, for example contractor or nominee supervisor.
Scope covers carpentry tasks and related fit out within Queensland. Licensing Advice confirms the right licence class for your work mix and sets up the application pathway.
You will need a recognised carpentry qualification, sufficient experience, and to meet financial and fit and proper person checks.
We assess your background against QBCC criteria, identify any gaps, and map out the steps to meet them before lodgement.
You can pursue recognition of prior learning through a RTO to convert your many years experience into a qualification.
Licensing Advice does not deliver training. If you need this step, we connect you with an RTO and keep your licence pathway on track while they assess you.
Timeframes vary with completeness of your application and QBCC workload, but generally 1-2 months. Complete and accurate applications move faster.
We front load requirements, respond to requests quickly, and manage follow ups so your application stays moving.
Yes, but the entity must hold the correct QBCC licence and have an approved nominee supervisor where required.
We set up the right structure, prepare entity and nominee paperwork, and align insurance and register details.
Typical scope includes framing, fix out, decking, cladding, doors and windows, and more.
We confirm the licence scope against your planned services, and if you need extra categories we advise the right pathway.
Missing documents, unclear experience, or financial details that do not meet requirements are common issues.
Licensing Advice prevents this by auditing your evidence, fixing gaps early, and answering QBCC queries on your behalf.
We scope your eligibility, compile and review documents, lodge with QBCC, and manage the process until a decision.
If you still need your qualification, we connect you with an RTO partner, then return to finalise your licence submission without losing momentum.

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.
