WA categorises painters into one of two categories:
- Contractor Registration means that the licence may provide painting services.
- Practitioner Registration is issued to the registered painting contractor or nominated supervisor.
The Building Services Board, a division of Western Australia’s Department of Commerce, regulates both licences.
