What licences does a concreting subcontractor need in Australia?
Last reviewed July 5, 2026
A concreting subcontractor in Australia typically needs a valid business licence, a builder's licence depending on the state, and may require specific trade licences for concreting work. Check with your local regulatory body for exact requirements in your area.
Key points
- Valid business licence required.
- State-specific builder's licence may be needed.
- Check local regulations for trade licences.
Licensing can vary by state, so it's essential to confirm what's needed in your specific location. Some states may have additional requirements for certain types of concreting work, like structural or decorative concrete. Always ensure your subcontractors have the right licences before starting work.
