Tell us where you are now
We start with your state, current role, experience and the licence or registration you are trying to obtain.
What to expect
Know what BLS will handle and what we need from you.
From the first check to lodgement, your specialist explains what is needed, helps prepare the application and keeps you informed about what happens next.
Choose your state or territory and we will show you which regulator and application process applies.

Right application
We confirm what you are applying for before the paperwork starts.
Use your experience
We organise the projects, qualifications, records and referees that support it.
RPL only if needed
Training or RPL is added only where there is a genuine qualification gap.
What happens next
From your first check to a prepared application.
You will know what BLS is doing, what we need from you and what still has to happen before lodgement.
See what you can already use
We review your qualifications, licences, site history and projects so you know what can support the application.
Find out what is missing
You may need application help only. If there is a genuine gap, we explain whether RPL, training or another licence step is required.
Gather the right records
We show you which project examples, referees and documents to collect before you apply.
Prepare the application
BLS helps complete the forms and supporting documents, then checks the details before lodgement.
Deal with follow-up
If the regulator asks for more information, we explain the request and help prepare the response.

The right support
Get the help your application actually needs.
Some people need application support only. Others also need RPL, training, mutual recognition or company and nominee work.
Application support
For applicants who appear ready but want help getting the forms and supporting documents sorted.
RPL or training plus application support
For experienced applicants who may be able to use RPL, or who need to complete specific training before applying.
Mutual recognition
For people who already hold a licence or registration and want to use it in another state.
Company and nominee support
For businesses that need a company licence and the correct individual or nominee licence behind it.
Why early checking matters
Missing details can slow an application down.
Each state asks for different qualifications, experience and supporting documents. Checking these early helps prevent avoidable rework.
The wrong licence or registration class is selected.
The applicant has the experience, but the projects, dates or responsibilities are unclear.
A qualification is missing or does not meet the current requirement.
A referee cannot confirm the experience the regulator is assessing.
Company, nominee or interstate licence requirements are discovered too late.
The regulator asks for more information and the records are not ready.
FAQ
Common questions before you start.
Straight answers about BLS, RPL, regulator decisions and choosing the right place to begin.
Is BLS the regulator?
No. BLS is independent. We prepare the evidence and application with you; the regulator assesses it and makes the final decision.
Can you guarantee approval?
No one can guarantee a regulator’s decision. What BLS can do is prepare a complete, accurate and well-supported application using the strongest evidence available.
Do I always need RPL or training?
No. RPL or training is only relevant when the qualification requirement cannot be met with what you already hold. We check that before recommending either option.
What if I am not sure which state or class applies?
You do not need to choose the class before speaking with BLS. The free 60-second check asks where you are applying, what you do now and what you are trying to move into.
