Plastering Licensing & Rules in New South Wales

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

Licence for work over $5,000

In NSW you must hold a contractor licence to carry out, advertise or contract for dry or wet plastering work valued at more than $5,000 in labour and materials. Unlicensed work can attract significant fines.

Choose correct licence type

Select an individual contractor, company, partnership licence or qualified supervisor certificate depending on whether you contract, supervise or perform the work. Licences can be issued for one, three, or five years.

Qualifications and experience

Applicants must hold an approved qualification such as CPC31220 Certificate III in Wall and Ceiling Lining or CPC31020 Certificate III in Solid Plastering and have relevant experience. Prior licences or equivalent qualifications may satisfy this requirement.

Comply with AS/NZS 2589 and AS 4773

Plastering and rendering work must meet AS/NZS 2589:2017 for gypsum linings and AS 4773 for masonry in small buildings. Follow manufacturer specifications and ensure correct adhesive use and control joints.

White Card and safe work practices

Workers must hold a White Card and prepare safe work method statements for high-risk tasks such as working at heights and scaffolding. Provide PPE, dust suppression, manual handling training and comply with SafeWork codes of practice.

Insurance and waste management

Carry public liability and workers compensation insurance and implement waste reduction and recycling of plasterboard off-cuts. Follow asbestos and lead paint regulations when working on older buildings.
