Licence Recognition

Mutual recognition for occupational licences in Australia. Arrangements are in place to make it easier for licensed tradespeople, and authorities that issue licences, to know what licence a worker is entitled to when applying for a licence in another jurisdiction. This site allows you to look up a licence entitlement in another state or territory, based on your currently-held licence. The site also has information on who to contact to apply for a licence.
