State and Territory Licensing, Painters

Before enrolling, please be aware of local licensing requirements for painters.

Licensing is currently required for painters in:

• New South Wales (NSW)
• Queensland (QLD)
• South Australia (SA)
• Western Australia (WA)
• Victoria (VIC)
• Tasmania (TAS)
• Australian Capital Territory (ACT)

Painting is classified as residential building work. A licence is required where the total value of residential painting work (labour and materials) exceeds the current threshold (e.g. $5,000).

A QBCC licence is required for painting work over the threshold amount (e.g. $3,300), and for certain work at heights regardless of value.

Painting is a prescribed trade. Painters must hold a building work contractor licence (painting).

Painters must be registered with the Building Services Board to carry out “painter work” for others over the set value threshold (e.g. $1,000).

No stand‑alone painter licence (at time of publication) in:

In these jurisdictions, other legal obligations still apply (e.g. business registration, WHS laws, contract and consumer law, and licensing where painting forms part of broader building work).

You must ensure you meet all regulatory requirements in the state or territory where you intend to work.
