Get your Trade License Switched over to Australia
We have become the leader in skills recognition market for overseas trained trade's people
If you’re a qualified tradie overseas and want to work in Australia in your trade, you’ll need to transfer your licence to the Australian equivalent. This process is called Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and it must be done through a registered body.
For many trades, this is the first step to securing both employment and, in some cases, your work visa in Australia. Without it, you can’t legally work in your trade.
Here’s the good news — I’ve got the best pathway for you. It’s run by Jason, an Irish tradie who moved to Australia in the early 2000s. For over 15 years, he and his team have specialised in helping people from Ireland, the UK, Europe and all over the world transfer their trade licences and get recognised in Australia. This is literally their business: getting overseas tradies into the Aussie workforce.
Their mission:
“To assist overseas tradespeople to secure skills recognition in Australia. Since then, we’ve become the leader in the skills recognition market for overseas-trained tradies.”
Trades that need licence recognition include:
Air Conditioning & Refrigeration Mechanic
Electrician
Chef, Cook, Pastry Chef
Carpenter / Joiner
Mechanic (Motor or Diesel)
Metal Fabricator (Boilermaker)
Bricklayer
Hairdresser
Fitter
Plumber
Painter
👉 If you’re in one of these trades, DM me on Instagram @calmcilwaine_fifo or email me. I’ll ask you a few quick assessment questions (trade, experience, qualifications, etc.), then connect you with one of their specialists.
They’ll give you a free call to explain the pathway, costs, and everything you need to know to get started.
Don’t waste time guessing — this is the fastest, most reliable way to get your trade licence recognised in Australia.
