Licence check
Check a builder or trade’s licence before you sign anything. Each state keeps its own register — pick the state where the work is.
Searched live on this page from the QBCC Licensed Contractors Register (Queensland Government open data), which lists active licensees only. For licence history, conditions or suspensions use the official QBCC licensee register. Electricians are licensed separately by the Electrical Safety Office.
Every state: check the ABN too
Make sure the name on the licence matches the business on your quote and contract. Look up any ABN on the Australian Business Register.
