Applying for a licence through DMIRS.

For those aiming to secure a minor trade or builder's license in Western Australia (WA), understanding the process can feel like a maze. But don't worry, we're here to help navigate you through it with clarity.


Understanding if You're Eligible:

Figuring out if you qualify for a builder's license in WA is essential. In Western Australia, the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (DMIRS) oversees this process, setting specific criteria you need to meet. Ensuring you fulfill all requirements from the outset is vital for a successful application.


Knowing if You Really Need It:

Not every job in the building industry demands a license in WA. Some smaller tasks or repairs may not require one. However, if your goal is to become a builder or undertake significant projects, obtaining a builder's license through DMIRS is essential.


How We Can Help:

At Licensing Advice, we specialise in providing clarity, application preparation and guidance throughout the WA license application process. We understand the complexities involved and work closely with individuals to ensure they meet all necessary criteria before submitting any application. Our goal is to streamline the process, saving you time, money, and unnecessary frustration.


Whether you're unsure about your eligibility, need assistance navigating the requirements, or seek advice on the right path forward, Licensing Advice is here to support you. We'll help you understand the nuances of obtaining a trade or builder's license in WA, ensuring you're fully prepared to embark on this journey with confidence.

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.
