FAQs

It depends! Simple shopfitting projects might not require a specific licence, but for larger jobs involving electrics, plumbing, or structural changes, you'll likely need a shopfitting licence. Check with your local building authority for the regulations in your area.
There are two main paths: experience and qualifications. Some regions allow experienced individuals (often with 2-4 years in shopfitting or related construction) to qualify for a restricted licence. Alternatively, completing a Certificate III in Shopfitting (CPC30120) can provide the necessary knowledge and potentially be the main requirement for a licence.
Your state or territory's building commission will handle the application process. Search online for "[your state/territory] building authority + shopfitting licence" to find details on licence classes, required qualifications, application forms, and fees.
A shopfitting licence offers several benefits. Firstly, it ensures you operate legally and meets safety standards, protecting yourself and your clients. Secondly, it opens doors to larger, more complex projects that might require specific expertise.

Yes, you can generally transfer your VIC Shopfitting 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.
