Find A Tradie is an Australian marketplace that connects homeowners with verified, licence-checked tradies. We started in Adelaide, South Australia, and are expanding nationally.
The problem we solve is simple: finding a trustworthy tradie is hard. Homeowners don't know which trade they need, whether a licence is required, or how to verify credentials. We handle all of that.
Every tradie on our platform is checked against state government licensing authorities before they can receive job leads. We screen for complaints, disciplinary actions, and licence conditions — so you only get connected with verified professionals.
For homeowners: Describe your job in your own words — you don't need to know which trade is required. Our system identifies the right trade, checks licences, and matches you with a verified local tradies who contact you with a quote. It's completely free, with no sign-up fee or obligation.
For tradies: Register on the platform, verify your licence, and start receiving job leads in your service area. We send you the job details and you decide whether to quote — no pressure, no obligation.
We cover 48 trade categories across residential and commercial work, including plumbers, electricians, carpenters, painters, tilers, bricklayers, fencers, concreters, roofers, air conditioning technicians, glaziers, plasterers, waterproofers, landscapers, handypersons, locksmiths, pest controllers, builders, solar installers, renderers, floor sanders, and more.

We check every tradie's contractor licence against the relevant state licensing authority (CBS SA, NSW Fair Trading, QBCC, VBA, etc.). We verify their ABN against the Australian Business Register.
