Search or browse business, professional, trade and contractor and occupational licenses. You can conduct a licence check online for a range of industries and across all states and territories in Australia.
Registers are commonly held by state Government departments and are made available free of charge online. Typical licence checks include builders and tradespeople, car dealers, real estate, health practitioners, security and pawnbrokers. This makes up a large portion of the workforce in Australia.
Industries with governing bodies and associations also host their own registers. This is handy for background checks when looking into the status of a persons professional memberships.
A Licence Check will vary as to the types of information being returned. Some will return business and contact details, whilst others will only respond as to the current status of an occupational licence.
Many of the registers will advise if a person has been banned, suspended or had action taken against them. At times a separate list is made available of such persons.
