A clearer record of work
Good work deserves more than a rating.
MyTradie is building a clearer picture of licensed businesses through recorded engagements, customer outcomes and issue resolution.
Whether you’re choosing a tradie or building your business’s reputation, be among the first to hear when we launch.

For customers. For tradies.
A record with context.
Let your work build your history.
For tradies: build a record of your work and make your response to issues visible.
Your history, in a Tradie Activity Display.
A visual record of history and outcomes, with no public numerical score or ranking.
Understand the Tradie Activity Display
Tradie Activity Display
The Tradie Activity Display brings verified work volume, customer-confirmed outcomes and qualified issues into a visual record. There is no overall numerical score or public ranking.
The sweep reflects the depth of independently verified history: approximately 60° for less than six months, growing to 180° at two years or more. It does not measure how good a tradie is.
Engagement counts provide context, not a complete measure of workload, availability or workmanship. A business with many short jobs can look different from one with fewer, longer projects.
Issue details stay private. The public Tradie Activity Display shows that a qualified issue exists and whether it has been resolved. Qualification is not an independent inspection or a finding of fault.
An unregistered licence without verified history shows a full neutral-grey Tradie Activity Display; its reference width does not imply two years of history. A qualified unresolved report remains visible as red on grey. Reconstructed records do not erase independently qualified problem history.
No issue being reported is different from a customer explicitly confirming a happy outcome. Silence is never recorded as satisfaction.
Be there from the beginning.
Memberships, comparisons and reporting will open with the service. Register your interest to hear when MyTradie launches.
Official licence registers
Find the right register for your tradie.
Choose the state or territory where the licence was issued, then the regulator for the work. This launch website opens official registers; it does not retrieve licence results or confirm current status.
Check the applicable licence class and conditions, not just the name. A licence lookup does not prove that someone is authorised to represent the business.
Building authorities and tradie licence checks by state
Looking for a QBCC equivalent outside Queensland? Each state and territory has its own building regulators and trade licensing arrangements. These authorities are not interchangeable, and licence checks and complaint processes may use different channels.
Queensland (QLD)
Queensland Building and Construction Commission (QBCC)
For a Queensland builder licence check, start with the QBCC licensee register. Electrical licensing uses a separate Electrical Safety Office register. Choose the regulator for the type of work.

New South Wales (NSW)
Building Commission NSW and NSW Fair Trading
Service NSW provides the official builder and tradesperson licence check. Its guidance directs home building complaints and enquiries to Building Commission NSW and licence lookup assistance to NSW Fair Trading.

Victoria (VIC)
Building and Plumbing Commission (BPC)
The Building and Plumbing Commission is the current regulator for building and plumbing. If you are looking for the former Victorian Building Authority (VBA), use the current BPC practitioner registers. Electrical licence checks use Energy Safe Victoria.

Preparing information about a building issue
Keep the contract, licence details, dates, photographs and correspondence together. Check the relevant authority’s own complaint guidance to find the appropriate pathway. MyTradie is independent of these authorities and is not endorsed by them. A MyTradie report is not a regulator complaint, and does not automatically lodge one or establish that an authority can assess it.
Authority names reviewed 23 October 2026. Check the official website for current information.
