Tradie licences in NSW provide proof that an individual is thoroughly trained and holds the relevant qualification to practice their chosen trade. In NSW if you accept and perform individual residential building jobs where you charge your client more than $1,000 for labour and materials, you’ll need to hold a licence for your chosen trade.
However, certain tradies – including electricians, plumbers/drainers, gasfitters, and air conditioning and refrigeration technicians – are required to be licensed regardless of the cost of the work they’re delivering.
