FAQs

Yes, in New South Wales you typically need a glazing licence to perform glazing work on residential buildings exceeding $5,000 (including materials and labor). This ensures qualified and experienced professionals handle glass installations, replacements, and repairs. A glazing licence guarantees they possess the knowledge and skills to handle glass safely and meet industry standards.
To qualify for a glazing licence in NSW, the primary route involves completing a Certificate III in Glass and Glazing (Specialising in Glazing). This program equips you with the necessary knowledge and hands-on skills for various glazing tasks. You'll learn about selecting, handling, cutting, installing, and repairing different glass types. The program also covers safety protocols, working at heights, and relevant building codes. Once you've successfully achieved this qualification, you'll be eligible to apply for a glazing contractor licence with NSW Fair Trading.
The NSW Fair Trading website is a comprehensive resource for information on glazing licences in NSW https://www.fairtrading.nsw.gov.au/trades-and-businesses/licensing-and-qualifications/glazing-licences. This website details the application process, eligibility requirements, and relevant legislation. For additional support navigating the licensing process, you can contact Educube (ph: 1300 092 997). Educube can connect you with accredited training providers for the Certificate III program and ensure you understand the specific requirements for your area. They can be a valuable asset throughout your journey to becoming a licensed glazier.

Yes, you can generally transfer your Glazing Licence to another state in Australia through a process called mutual recognition. However, the specific process and requirements may vary depending on the state you're transferring to.

For example, a person who has the Glazing Licence in NSW and wishes to work in South Australia will need to lodge an application with the relevant South Australian registration authority to have a South Australian license issued. The South Australian local registration authority will consider the NSW license and assess whether the person is eligible for an equivalent South Australian Glazing Licence.
