Painting Trade Licence Western Australia

Interested in this qualification?

    Any painter who wishes to do any painting work valued over $1,000, must be registered or licenced.
    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.
