Hire with Confidence
Make an informed decision knowing your tradie is properly licensed, insured, and qualified.
Before you hire, check the licence
Getting work done on your home is a big deal. You're handing over your hard-earned cash and trusting someone with your biggest asset. A quick licence check takes 30 seconds — and it could save you thousands.
Dodgy work costs real money
Unlicensed operators might quote cheap, but shoddy work means paying twice — once for the job, and again to fix it. No licence often means no warranty, no insurance, and no comeback if things go wrong.
Your insurance might not cover it
Many home insurance policies won't pay out if work was done by an unlicensed tradie. A leaking roof or faulty wiring from an unqualified worker could leave you completely out of pocket.
It's about safety, not just money
Electrical, plumbing, and gas work done wrong isn't just expensive — it's dangerous. Licensed tradies have the training and qualifications to do the job safely. It's not worth the risk.
It's actually the law
In every state and territory, certain trades require a licence by law. Hiring an unlicensed operator for regulated work can void your consumer protections — and in some states, you could be liable too.
Licences expire and get suspended
Just because someone was licensed last year doesn't mean they still are. Licences can lapse, get suspended, or have conditions added. A quick check shows you their current status — not what they tell you.
Free, instant, straight from the source
We pull licence data directly from your state's official government register. No sign-up, no fees, no catch. Just type a name and you'll know in seconds if they're legit.
