The Queensland Building and Construction Commission or QBCC issues painters licences, which are also known as trade contractor licences under the painting and decorating class, which has three licence grades:
Site Supervisor for individuals working as employees of licensed contractors. Nominee Supervisor for individuals supervising work on behalf of a company. Trade Contractor is the full licence.

- Painting and decorating apprenticeship with additional competency unit in trowelled texture coat finishes (CPCCCSP3003A)
- CPC30620 Certificate III in Painting and Decorating or equivalent
