What the QBCC license tells you
License Status
Whether the license is current, suspended, or cancelled. A current license means they're authorised to work.
License Class
The specific type of work they're licensed to perform. Each trade class has defined scope.
Expiry Date
When the license expires. Expired licenses mean they can't legally perform regulated work.
License Holder
The individual or company that holds the license. Verify it matches who you're actually hiring.
When does a tradie need a QBCC license?
Any building work valued over $3,300 (including labour and materials) requires the contractor to hold a current QBCC license. This covers trades like electricians, plumbers, builders, roofers, concreters, tilers, and more. Home service professionals like cleaners, pest control, and landscapers generally don't require QBCC licensing — but they should still hold a valid ABN.
