The Victorian Building Commission has just fined a tradesman from Reservoir $24,000. The tradesman had verbally agreed to conduct over $200,000 of work at a home in Reservoir, however he didn't have a licence, didn't have a permit, and didn't have insurance. Another great example as to why Service Central is so strict on our tradespeople's compliance standards.
Service Central's standards set out that in order to access any of the thousands of new jobs we generate for tradespeople each month you must have:
- A registered business with a valid ABN or ACN.
- Qualifications where the trade is licenced or are registered with a State Authority where required.
- Appropriate Public Liability Insurance.
- Agreed to the Service Central Terms and Conditions.
- Agreed to abide by the Service Central Code of Conduct.
If you run a high quality business, and agree with us that we need to keep the cowboys out of the industry, please register your business with us here: /for-business/
That said, we do like to help trades businesses grow and have partnered up with a company to help tradespeople become registered with the Building Commission.
