Follow these simple steps to apply for your painting and decorating licence in Queensland:

• Download and complete the Trade Contractor’s Licence Application Form, providing information regarding your technical qualifications, proof of identity, and financial information.
• Submit the completed application along with supporting documents, such as CPC30620 Certificate III in Painting and Decorating or equivalent recognition certificate and your licence fee in person or by mail to your nearest QBCC office.

If you don’t have a CPC30620 Certificate III in Painting and Decorating or any equivalent recognition certificate, you could still apply for a licence if you have completed an apprenticeship. Alternatively, you could obtain an equivalent qualification through recognition of prior learning.
