Joinery
NSW Fair Trading
Information about joinery licences and certificates.
You must have a licence before you do any residential building work in NSW, including joinery, that is valued at more than $5000 (incl GST) in labour and materials.
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.
To learn more about what is considered joinery see the definition in schedule 4 of the Home Building Regulation 2014.
