About

Joinery is the making and installing of non-structural timber, timber composite or metal components or elements for buildings.

This includes doors, windows, prefabricated glass fencing and stairs, as well as built-in furniture such as cupboards, wardrobes and entertainment units which are generally made off site and installed as a finished unit.

Joinery also includes work to make and install shower screens and internal timber cladding for walls and ceilings.

Why do I need the licence ?

In Australia, a joinery license is essential for ensuring legal compliance, establishing professional credibility, and guaranteeing quality workmanship within the construction and renovation sectors. It not only verifies a joiner’s skills and adherence to national building codes and standards but also enhances their marketability, allowing them to undertake larger projects and access better insurance options. Moreover, obtaining and maintaining a license necessitates continuous learning, ensuring joiners remain updated on the latest industry practices and technologies. This comprehensive approach to regulation and professional development safeguards both the joiner and their clients, promoting high standards across the industry.
