January 8, 2024

Ready for your QBCC Licence Application? Avoid mistakes that slow you down or refuse your application. Learn to handle paperwork, verify qualifications, and choose the right licence with our 30+ years of experience.

So you’re ready to submit your QBCC Licence Application – congratulations! It’s not easy to get qualified, so let’s have a closer look at the next crucial step in the process: the QBCC Licence Application itself.

Based on our 30+ years of experience assisting applicants with QBCC Licence Applications, the reality is that 4 out of 5 applicants are likely to receive a letter or email from QBCC requesting more information about their QBCC Licence Application. This can slow down the QBCC Licence Application assessment, or if you miss the letter, it can even result in your QBCC Licence Application being refused.

Can you avoid these issues? Here are 3 common mistakes we’ve found people make when applying for their QBCC Licence Application:

Incorrect or incomplete paperwork for your QBCC Licence Application.

There are many different categories for QBCC licences, and some of them require additional forms on top of the standard QBCC Licence Application. Do you have everything you need for your QBCC Licence Application? Are you filling it out neatly, accurately, and professionally?

Not having the right qualification for your QBCC Licence Application.

It’s crucial to verify what qualification fits the QBCC Licence you want to apply for. What qualifications are accepted can change as methods and technology evolve, meaning that the qualification you completed a few years ago should be double-checked before you apply for your QBCC Licence Application.

Not applying for the right licence in your QBCC Licence Application.

The QBCC is responsible for 78 different licence classes, including builder licences, trade licences, mechanical and plumbing licences, fire protection licences, and other industry professional licences. If you’re applying for a QBCC Licence, make sure you’re applying for the right one.

We have just completed a journey of some 9 months with Construction Licensing's team, Yasmine and Rebecca.It has ended in complete success, with my husband … More Gordon, now the holder of his Builders Low Rise Licence (obtained in April), and Building Inspector's License (obtained in September on Friday 13th!).Gordon had all the skills, certificates, and expertise for both licenses, but what we lacked was the ability to navigate the QBCC’s unseen requirements and paperwork. The details that aren’t asked for on the their forms! Construction Licensing supported us with this professional knowledge and insight, and guided us, step by step through the application process.From my first contact with Rebecca, to Yasmine's lengthy and ongoing case work with us both, offering support, guidance, co-ordination and from time to time emotional counselling (LOL), Construction Licensing have taken the details that we had gathered together, and helped us get them into a format that clearly showcased Gordon’s skills, professionalism and abilities to hold the licenses he was applying for.Gordon and I cannot recommend Construction licensing highly enough to anyone who needs help navigating the sometimes murky waters of licensing paperwork.It was an absolute pleasure to deal with you Yasmine and Rebecca. Thank you so much, warmest thanks,Emma and Gordon.
