Attachment E – Key changes to existing jurisdictional licensing arrangements New South Wales
There are some general differences that would apply to new individual worker licence applicants when the preferred national licensing model is compared to current licensing arrangements, including:
removal of some personal probity checks, health and fitness checks, evidence of experience and age requirements
two gasfitting licence categories replace the three currently available at the contractor level; however, at the full licence level, one category is replaced by two
removal of financial probity check for bankruptcy for tradesperson registration holders and (full) licence holders
variation to the number of Certificate IV units required at the full licence level.
In New South Wales a licence or registration is not currently issued for mechanical services plumbing, and under national licensing neither will be issued for this occupation.
[Note that, in all the following jurisdictional tables, a compulsory unit or units refers to specific unit or units proposed as required for obtaining the relevant licence under national licensing. See 3.1.6 to identify the specific units required.]
