Painting Licensing & Rules in New South Wales

Important regulations and resources to help you hire with confidence in New South Wales.

Contractor Licence Requirement

In New South Wales, a contractor licence issued by NSW Fair Trading is required for any residential building or trade work, including painting, where the total cost of labour and materials is more than $5,000. Stand‑alone internal painting valued below this amount does not require a licence, but all advertising or contracting for work above the threshold must be done by a licensed contractor.

Home Building Compensation Fund Cover

Licensed painters must arrange Home Building Compensation Fund insurance for residential projects over $20,000. The certificate of cover must be provided to the client before work begins.

Workers’ Compensation Insurance

Painting businesses that employ workers are required to have a workers’ compensation insurance policy to cover work‑related injuries and illnesses. This ensures employees are protected wherever they carry out their duties.

Public Liability Insurance

Public liability insurance is recommended to protect against claims for accidental property damage or personal injury during painting work.

Safety Management Plan

Developing a safety management plan is encouraged to identify hazards and implement controls when working at heights, handling hazardous substances and managing lead‑based paints. This helps ensure compliance with SafeWork NSW standards.
