What the application needs
What has to line up for a Tasmanian builder licence.
Tasmania assesses builder licensing against the class of work, minimum qualification and supervised experience. The evidence needs to show both the work type and when the experience was gained.
CBOS references
02
Supervised experience
Applicants also need the minimum amount of supervised experience, with at least half gained after the minimum qualification was awarded.
03
Class above current licence
Where the applicant already holds a builder licence, experience needs to be above the class of any existing licence.
04
Scope of work
The target class should match the building work the applicant wants to contract, manage or supervise in Tasmania.
