FAQs

In New South Wales (NSW) and most of Australia, you'll need a licence to perform solid plastering work exceeding a specific value (typically $5,000 for residential projects including materials and labor). This ensures you possess the qualifications and experience to handle plastering tasks safely and meet industry standards.
The primary pathway to a solid plastering licence in NSW involves completing a Certificate III in Solid Plastering (CPC31020) from a registered training organisation (RTO). This qualification equips you with the skills and knowledge for applying various plasters, renders, and cements to create smooth or decorative finishes on interior walls and exterior renders. Upon successful completion of the program, you become eligible to apply for a solid plastering licence with NSW Fair Trading.
The NSW Fair Trading website offers comprehensive information on solid plastering licences in NSW https://www.fairtrading.nsw.gov.au/trades-and-businesses/licensing-and-qualifications/wet-plastering-licences. This website details the application process, eligibility requirements, and relevant legislation. In addition to the official resources, you can contact Educube (ph: 1300 092 997) for assistance navigating the licensing process. Educube can help you find accredited training providers for the Certificate III in Solid Plastering program and ensure you understand the specific requirements in your area.

Yes, you can generally transfer your Solid Plastering 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 Solid Plastering 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 Solid Plastering Licence.
