Contractors licence in NSW ?

[Guest Woody]

Hi

Anyone else out there heading to NSW and planning on being self-employed/sole trader?

I have work lined up contracting (i hope) to a friend in Sydney installing kitchens but i've recently discovered that i need to obtain a contractors licence before i can undertake any work in private homes.

I've spoken to dept. of fair trading and they said it would be upto the assesing people at TAFE to decide if my supporting documents i.e. stuff i submitted to the TRA , are sufficient to gain a licence.

Another bloody hurdle!

So i was wondering if any one else has used their TRA docs to gain a licence and were you successful ?

Cheers

Paul
