Why licence-checking matters

Specialist work — licence required regardless of cost

Electricians, plumbers, gasfitters, and air conditioning technicians must hold a current contractor licence and trade certificate for any work, even a $50 job. Hiring an unlicensed person for these trades is illegal and dangerous.

Trade work — licence required over $5,000

Carpenters, painters, tilers, bricklayers, fencers, concreters, roof plumbers, glaziers, waterproofers, and plasterers need a contractor licence for any residential work valued over $5,000 (including labour and materials).

What about Airtasker and Gumtree?

Marketplace platforms verify identity but not qualifications. Anyone can list themselves as a "plumber" or "electrician" without holding the required licence. Find A Tradie exists to solve this — every tradie is checked before they can quote on your job.
