About National Licensing
Let our construction licence specialists manage the entire process so you can get back to work!
Why National Licensing?
We’ve positioned ourselves as Australia’s foremost authority in construction licensing. With a robust foundation built on over 30 years of combined experience — and backed by hundreds of successful applications and hundreds of hours of one-on-one consultations — our legacy is defined by innovation, expertise, and unwavering commitment. We are also the only licensing brand in Australia that offers nationally accredited construction training programs specifically tailored to licensing requirements. This unique combination allows us to deliver a complete, end-to-end service that takes you from qualification to licence with unmatched efficiency and precision.
National Reach
Our operations span across most states, delivering services nationally with a deep understanding of local market nuances. This ensures every client receives a tailored and relevant experience, no matter where they are located.
National Licensing is more than just a name — it’s our commitment to being a dependable partner, Australia-wide. And while we pride ourselves on meeting our service level commitments, in the rare event we cannot, we will outsource your requirements to another authorised and licensed construction consultancy approved by us. This ensures you always receive the highest standard of expertise, compliance, and professionalism, without compromise.
Local Knowledge & Talent
Our headquarters are based in Brisbane, right on the river near the CBD. We’re a diverse and highly skilled team comprising trained trade-qualified staff, licensed builders, qualified project managers, experienced business leaders, and seasoned state licensing experts. Alongside our qualified trainers, assessors, and dedicated licensing consultants, we share one goal — to help you get licensed and grow your business with confidence.

Fair Costs & Transparent Pricing
At National Licensing, we believe in absolute transparency when it comes to costs. There are no hidden fees, no surprise charges — just honest, fair pricing for the work we do.
All work is billed by the hour, in 15-minute increments, so you only pay for the time we actually spend on your file. This ensures that every dollar you invest is matched by real, tangible progress toward your licensing goals.
Our approach is simple: real work, charged fairly. From the very first consultation, we’ll provide you with a clear breakdown of costs, timeframes, and any foreseeable requirements so you can make informed decisions with confidence.
With us, you’re not just paying for a service — you’re investing in an experienced team committed to delivering value, efficiency, and results.
Part of a Bigger Vision
National Licensing is part of a larger group of companies, giving us access to an extensive network of resources, partnerships, technology, and industry expertise. This connection enables us to deliver solutions that are more efficient, transparent, and aligned with the demands of modern construction.
Our clients can have complete confidence knowing their licensing journey is backed by the stability, professionalism, and security of a trusted corporate group. With this foundation, we’re not just meeting industry standards — we’re shaping them, ensuring you have the support and assurance you need at every step.
Tech in Construction
National Licensing is at the forefront of advancing construction technology. We are co-investing in an innovative new Australian AI company that is building cutting-edge tech stacks specifically designed to support and enhance the construction industry.
This strategic partnership enables us to deliver faster, smarter, and more capable services — often at significantly more competitive costs for construction consumers. By integrating advanced AI solutions into our operations, we streamline processes, reduce inefficiencies, and provide a better overall experience for our clients.
Our goal is simple: to disrupt an industry that can and should operate better. Through technology, we are setting new standards in efficiency, transparency, and value for the Australian construction sector.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should you have questions beyond what is covered in our FAQs, our dedicated team is always ready to provide additional support and guidance. We continually update this section based on your feedback and inquiries to ensure you have the most accurate and up-to-date information at your fingertips.
From our research conducted in 2024, applications often fail due to poorly compiled submissions, a lack of understanding of the process, or not meeting the required criteria.
Each state’s building commission has different fees, typically a few hundred dollars for submission, with renewal fees usually every two years. Our fees are seperate to the comission fees. Our fees are charged hourly with no upfront payments except for your official consultation fee.
Yes you can reapply. We can manage your resubmission (billed hourly), but you’ll have limited time to do so. Each state has its own policies. However, this is traditionally a simple and fast process. Most contractors move too slow and miss the resubmission window.
There are no upfront fees. First, we assess your situation and create a plan, then provide a quote. You only pay for the services we deliver—nothing more.
Note: 30‑minute professional consultations are billed at $200 + GST. If you proceed as a client, additional services are billed hourly, in 15‑minute increments
If you’re asking this question – get assessed! It depends on the type of work you’re doing and the state you’re in. Most construction work requires a licence, and operating without one can have serious legal consequences. Contact a specialist and commit to a 30 minute assessment now!
