To legally undertake concreting work valued over $20,000 in Western Australia, you will generally need to be registered as a Building Services Contractor with the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (DMIRS).

Requirements for Concreting Licence in WA

Licence Types:

  1. Building Contractor Licence: Allows you to enter into contracts, manage subcontractors, and oversee concreting projects.
  2. Building Practitioner Licence: This enables you to act as a building supervisor or directly undertake building work.

 

Key Requirements:

  • Qualifications: You typically need a Certificate III in Concreting (CPC30320) or equivalent. Contact us if you have practical experience but no formal qualifications.
  • Experience: A minimum of two years' experience within the last ten years is usually required.

Additional Requirements:

  • Construction Induction Card (White Card) is required to work on construction sites.
  • If you are contracting for residential building work, compliance with the Home Building Contracts Act 1991 is mandatory for work valued at $20,000 or more.

 

If you are working for a registered builder, ensure your employer has the correct licence. However, if you plan to run your own concreting business, acquiring a contractor licence will allow you to contract directly with clients and manage large-scale projects.

*Pro Tips: You can get these qualifications fast if you have at least 2 years of relevant experience.

FAQs

In most areas, you'll need a licence to perform concreting work, especially if the job value exceeds a certain amount. This ensures you have the qualifications and experience to handle the work safely and properly. Check with your local building authority for specific regulations and thresholds.
The requirements vary by region, but typically you'll need to complete a vocational program like a Certificate III in Concreting. This program equips you with the skills and knowledge for concrete laying, placement, formwork, and reinforcement. Some regions might also consider relevant work experience as a pathway to a restricted licence.
While your state or territory's building authority is a great resource ([your state/territory] building authority + concreting licence), you can also reach out to Educube (ph: 1300 092 997) for assistance. Educube can help you navigate the process, including finding accredited training providers for Certificate III in Concreting programs and understanding the specific requirements in your area. They can be a valuable resource throughout the entire licensing process.
