WHY NOW IS THE TIME FOR YOU TO GET REGISTERED

check icon

Are you an experienced tradesperson in the building industry and despite your best intentions never had the chance to get registered and licensed?

check icon

Now is the time to act. Changes are likely to be made to the Building Legislation Amendment Act 2023
which means you will need to become registered.

check icon


The reason for these changes is aimed at reducing non-compliant work and increasing the quality and accountability of all trades.

The changes will first apply to carpenters, followed by all other trades. Once mandated, the changes will mean any building work carried out by unregistered tradespeople will be deemed illegal.
