National Trade Licensing Framework
National
The Australian Government oversees the national framework for trade licensing through the Council of Australian Governments (COAG). While licensing is primarily administered at the state level, the national framework ensures consistency in standards and mutual recognition of licences across jurisdictions.
Key national regulations include the Mutual Recognition Act 1992, which allows licensed tradespersons to work across state borders, and the National Construction Code (NCC), which sets minimum standards for building work across Australia.
