Mutual recognition

Building practitioners licensed or registered in another state can apply to be accredited under the Mutual Recognition Act. Anyone accredited to perform work in one state has the right to be accredited to perform the same sort of work in another state.

For example, a licensed Domestic Builder in New South Wales can apply to be accredited as a builder in Tasmania. However, they must still comply with local requirements including becoming accredited as a building practitioner in Tasmania, and comply with all Tasmanian laws such as the Building Act 2000.
