Travel Australia with your national licence

Your current training towards an electrical, plumbing and gasfitting, property (excluding conveyancers and valuers) or refrigeration and air conditioning mechanic qualification will allow you to apply for a single national licence and enable you to work anywhere in Australia.

Introduction of national licensing

The first wave of occupations to commence will include property agents (excluding conveyancers and valuers), electrical occupations, plumbers, gasfitters and air-conditioning and refrigeration occupations. Licences for building and building related occupations, conveyancers and valuers will be issued under the new system in a second wave.

What does national licensing mean for me?

If you are currently training to become a property agent, electrician, plumber, gasfitter or refrigeration and air conditioning mechanic you can apply for a national licence once national licensing commences. If you complete your qualification before this time, you can apply for a state-based licence through your state/territory licensing agency.
