On a small screen, scroll across to see every column.
| Location | Official source |
|---|---|
| NSW | NSW Fair TradingYou do not need an occupational licence in NSW to run a domestic house cleaning, end-of-lease, window cleaning, lawn mowing or garden maintenance business — none of this work appears in the state's occupational licensing schemes. NSW does not operate a labour hire licensing scheme, so a cleaning business supplying workers to your home or your property manager needs no labour hire licence here. Some work does cross into licensed territory: removing more than 10 square metres of non-friable asbestos requires a Class B asbestos removal licence from SafeWork NSW, and any amount of friable asbestos requires Class A. A gardener spraying weeds for a fee must hold current chemical-user training and keep spray records under the Pesticides Regulation 2017, though garden and lawn maintenance is expressly exempt from the EPA's ground applicator licence. Your actual protection is the Australian Consumer Law consumer guarantees — due care and skill, fitness for the purpose you asked for, and delivery in a reasonable time — with unresolved disputes going to NSW Fair Trading. |
| VIC | Labour Hire AuthorityYou do not need an occupational licence in Victoria to clean houses, do end-of-lease or window cleaning, mow lawns or maintain gardens. Victoria does run a labour hire licensing scheme under the Labour Hire Licensing Act 2018, administered by the Labour Hire Authority, but it is aimed at providers supplying workers to commercial premises: a business providing only domestic cleaning, or doing the work itself without supplying staff, does not need a licence, while one supplying cleaners to shops, offices or schools does — and the definition of labour hire services was broadened from 1 October 2026, so check the register. Work that genuinely does require a licence includes removing more than 10 square metres of non-friable asbestos, which needs a Class B asbestos removal licence, with any amount of friable asbestos needing Class A. Spraying herbicide on someone else's property for a fee requires a Commercial Operator Licence from Agriculture Victoria. There is an exemption for gardeners working only in a garden attached to residential premises who hold recognised agvet chemical-use training, so a trained lawn-care operator spraying your home garden is not necessarily unlicensed; ask what training they hold. Your protection is the Australian Consumer Law consumer guarantees, which cannot be contracted out of. |
| QLD | Office of Fair TradingYou do not need an occupational licence in Queensland to clean houses, do end-of-lease or window cleaning, mow lawns or maintain gardens. Queensland does run a labour hire licensing scheme under the Labour Hire Licensing Act 2017, and whether a cleaning business needs a licence turns on the contract: supplying cleaners paid by the hour to work under someone else's direction requires a licence, while a fixed-price contract where the business sets the methods, supplies its own equipment and fixes its own defects does not. Several related tasks are licensed — removing more than 10 square metres of non-friable asbestos requires a Class B asbestos removal licence from WorkSafe Queensland, with Class A for any amount of friable asbestos, and applying pesticides commercially requires a pest management licence from Queensland Health. Commercial herbicide weed control on land you do not own can require a Commercial Operator's Licence. Whatever the licensing position, the Australian Consumer Law consumer guarantees apply, and unresolved disputes go to the Office of Fair Trading. |
| WA | Consumer Protection, Department of Local Government, Industry Regulation and SafetyYou do not need an occupational licence in Western Australia to clean houses, do end-of-lease or window cleaning, mow lawns or maintain gardens. WA does not operate a labour hire licensing scheme, so there is no labour hire licence for a cleaning business to hold here — those schemes exist in Victoria, Queensland, South Australia and the ACT only. Work that does require a licence includes asbestos removal: a Class B removalist licence for more than 10 square metres of non-friable asbestos, and a Class A licence for friable asbestos in any amount. Your protection is the Australian Consumer Law consumer guarantees — due care and skill, fitness for the purpose you asked for, and completion in a reasonable time — and complaints about services bought in WA go to Consumer Protection. |
| SA | Consumer and Business ServicesYou do not need an occupational licence in South Australia to clean houses, do end-of-lease or window cleaning, mow lawns or maintain gardens. South Australia does run a labour hire licensing scheme under the Labour Hire Licensing Act 2017, administered by Consumer and Business Services, and cleaning has been a licensed sector for years — from 29 January 2026 the scheme was extended to labour hire providers across all industries, and the maximum penalties apply not only to an unlicensed provider but to a business that uses one. Removing more than 10 square metres of non-friable asbestos requires a Class B asbestos removal licence through SafeWork SA, and any amount of friable asbestos requires Class A. Your protection is the Australian Consumer Law consumer guarantees, with disputes going to Consumer and Business Services. |
| TAS | Consumer Affairs TasmaniaYou do not need an occupational licence in Tasmania to clean houses, do end-of-lease or window cleaning, mow lawns or maintain gardens. Tasmania does not operate a labour hire licensing scheme, so no labour hire licence applies to a cleaning business supplying workers here. Asbestos work is licensed: you need an asbestos removalist licence from WorkSafe Tasmania to remove more than 10 square metres of non-friable asbestos, or any amount of friable asbestos. Your protection is the Australian Consumer Law consumer guarantees — the service must be performed with due care and skill, be fit for the purpose you asked for, and be delivered in a reasonable time. |
| ACT | Access CanberraYou do not need an occupational licence in the ACT to clean houses, do end-of-lease or window cleaning, mow lawns or maintain gardens. The ACT does run a labour hire licensing scheme under the Labour Hire Licensing Act 2020, administered through WorkSafe ACT, covering any ACT-based provider that supplies and pays a worker to do work for someone else — so a cleaning business supplying its own cleaners to a host business will generally need a licence, subject to limited exemptions. Asbestos is the ACT's biggest trap: unlike every other Australian jurisdiction it has no small-area exemption, and Access Canberra's guidance is that no asbestos containing material may be removed from premises, commercial or residential, by anyone other than a licensed asbestos removalist — so never let a cleaner or gardener disturb asbestos sheeting at all. Your protection is the Australian Consumer Law consumer guarantees, with complaints going to Access Canberra. One qualification: WorkSafe ACT guidance still permits handling incidental to declared minor or routine maintenance, such as removing small isolated pieces of material or clearing leaf litter from an asbestos-roof gutter, so a cleaner or gardener doing those specific tasks is not automatically in breach. |
| NT | Northern Territory Consumer AffairsYou do not need an occupational licence in the Northern Territory to clean houses, do end-of-lease or window cleaning, mow lawns or maintain gardens. The NT does not operate a labour hire licensing scheme, so no labour hire licence applies to a cleaning business supplying workers here. Asbestos removal is licensed by NT WorkSafe: a Class B licence to remove more than 10 square metres of non-friable asbestos, and a Class A licence for any amount of friable asbestos, with licences issued to the business rather than the individual worker. Your protection is the Australian Consumer Law consumer guarantees — due care and skill, fitness for the purpose you asked for, and delivery in a reasonable time — and Northern Territory Consumer Affairs handles consumer disputes about goods and services. |
| Your location | Australian Business Licence and Information ServiceSearch the exact activity and location to find licensing, regulatory and council requirements. Follow through to the named authority and verify the provider separately. This lookup is not confirmation that a provider is licensed or a job is exempt. |
This is not a complete register of requirements. Where a state-specific source has not been checked, use the government lookup. Qualified trade review is pending; no universal licence exemption is asserted.
