Handyman Licensing & Rules in New South Wales
Important regulations and resources to help you hire with confidence in New South Wales.
Contractor Licence Requirement
In New South Wales, a contractor licence issued by NSW Fair Trading is required to carry out, advertise or contract for residential building work valued over $5,000 (including labour and materials). This requirement applies to general building work such as carpentry, fencing or small renovations.
Specialist Trades Licensing
Work involving air conditioning, refrigeration, electrical wiring, plumbing, draining or gas fitting is considered specialist work and requires a specific licence regardless of cost. Handymen must not undertake these trades without the appropriate licence.
Workers’ Compensation Insurance
Handymen who employ workers must obtain workers’ compensation insurance to cover employees for work‑related injuries and illnesses. Employers are required to have this insurance for workers wherever they are working.
Public Liability Insurance
It is recommended that handymen maintain public liability insurance to protect against claims for accidental property damage or personal injury.
Local Council Permits
Some projects, such as structural alterations or additions, may require approval from local councils. Handymen should consult the relevant local council to determine whether permits are required before commencing work.
