Building practitioners and general concreters may register for a concreting licence in Victoria from the Victorian Building Authority (VBA). The VBA is the peak regulatory authority for all trade occupational licensing in Victoria. Only building practitioners registered with the VBA can carry out domestic building and concreting work valued at over $5,000. A licence with the VBA can formally recognise your concreting qualifications and allow you to take on more specialised work as a concreter.
The Domestic Builder – Limited registration covers general concreting, and specific codes can be added for building practitioners wishing to specialise in a particular expertise, for example:
- Swimming pool concreting experts must obtain DB-L-S registration
- Floor slab and footing concreters must obtain DB-L-O registration
