Painting Licensing & Rules in Victoria

Important regulations and resources to help you hire with confidence in Victoria.

Registration Requirement

Victoria does not have a separate painter’s licence, but painting and decorating work is considered domestic building work if it forms part of building works valued over $10,000 or requires a building permit. In such cases, the person contracting the work must be registered with the Victorian Building Authority in an appropriate category such as Domestic Builder – Limited (painting and decorating). Stand‑alone painting work that does not require a building permit may be undertaken without registration.

WorkSafe Victoria Compliance

Painting businesses must comply with WorkSafe Victoria regulations by providing a safe work environment, managing risks such as working at heights and ensuring that workers are trained in the safe use of paints and solvents.

Public Liability Insurance

Holding public liability insurance is recommended to protect against claims for accidental property damage or personal injury arising from painting activities.

Written Contracts for Services

For domestic building work, including painting and decorating, valued over $10,000, a written contract is required. Contracts should outline the scope of work, costs, progress payments and warranty obligations.

Compliance with Australian Standards

Painters must adhere to relevant Australian Standards for painting and surface coating, such as AS/NZS 2311:2017, to ensure quality workmanship and compliance.
