Painting Licence Tasmania

How to Get a Painting in TAS

In Tasmania, obtaining a Painting Licence is a vital step for anyone looking to carry out building and construction work. This licence serves as a testament to your technical knowledge, practical skills, industry experience, and formal qualifications, ensuring that you can manage construction or building projects while maintaining high quality and safety standards.

While painters in Tasmania are not required to carry a painting trade licence, they are encouraged to obtain insurance, a business licence (if they employ others) and an Australian Business Number (ABN), if they work in their individual capacity. These items will help protect their business as well as their customers.

In order to be recognised as trade professionals by organisations such as Master Painters Australia, it is recommended that painters obtain a CPC30620 Certificate III in Painting and Decorating or RPL assessed equivalent qualification.
