Painting Licence Victoria

How to Get a Painting in VIC

In Victoria, 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.

Painting is more than adding colour; it’s about protecting, enhancing, and revitalising surfaces. Qualified painters possess the knowledge to select the right materials, apply techniques, and ensure a professional finish. Their expertise transforms spaces, leaving a lasting impact on homes and commercial properties.

Upcoming Legislative Changes: the Victorian government is introducing a phased approach to mandating qualifications for painters to obtain trade licence. This development underscores the recognition of formal training in this essential trade.

Information regarding Victorian registration and trade licence changes for 2024 and onwards will be updated soon. For further information please visit Engage Victoria
