FAQs

In New South Wales (NSW) and most of Australia, you'll likely need a joinery licence to perform joinery work on residential buildings exceeding a specific value (typically $5,000 for labor and materials). This ensures you have the qualifications and experience to handle joinery projects safely and effectively, meeting industry standards and producing high-quality joinery products.
There are two main pathways to qualify for a joinery licence in NSW: Formal Qualifications: The most common route involves completing a Certificate III in Joinery (CPC31920) from a registered training organisation (RTO). This qualification equips you with the knowledge and skills for various joinery tasks, including manufacturing furniture, doors, windows, and other joinery products. You'll also learn to select, prepare, and work with timber and other joinery materials, operate woodworking machinery safely, and follow construction plans and specifications. Experience: In some regions, experienced individuals (often with 2-4 years of experience in joinery or related construction work) may qualify for a restricted joinery licence. Upon fulfilling one of these requirements, you become eligible to apply for a joinery licence with NSW Fair Trading.
The NSW Fair Trading website offers comprehensive information on joinery licences in NSW, including the application process, eligibility requirements, and relevant legislation https://www.fairtrading.nsw.gov.au/trades-and-businesses/licensing-and-qualifications/joinery-licences. 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 in Joinery program and ensure you understand the specific requirements for your area. They can be a valuable resource throughout your journey to becoming a licensed joiner.

Yes, you can generally transfer your VIC Joinery 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 an Joinery Licence in VIC and wishes to work in NT will need to lodge an application with the NT relevant registration authority to have a NT license issued. The NT local registration authority will consider the VIC license and assess whether the person is eligible for an equivalent Joinery Licence in NT.
