Mutual recognition — work in any state
If you hold a licence in one Australian state, you may be able to work in other states without sitting new exams. Dan handles the paperwork.
Two types of mutual recognition
Automatic Mutual Recognition (AMR)
Under AMR, most licensed builders and trade contractors can notify the regulator in another state and start working there immediately — without a new application. This applies in most states for most licence types. Dan confirms whether AMR applies to your situation and handles the notification.
Standard Mutual Recognition
Some states and licence types still require a formal application. Dan maps your existing licence and experience across to meet the requirements of the new state, prepares your application, and follows up with the regulator.
Which states recognise each other?
All Australian states and territories participate in mutual recognition. However, the process and requirements differ significantly between states. Some states require endorsement, some require a notification, and some have specific carve-outs. Dan tells you exactly what applies in your situation.
