The required qualifications a building inspector must hold change from state to state. Queensland is the only state or territory in Australia where building inspections must be undertaken by a licensed builder who also holds a building inspection license.

  • You do not need any specific building qualifications to start conducting building inspections in NSW, VIC, ACT, TAS, SA, NT, or WA however it is preferred that you have some experience within the building trade. There are no set regulations that apply to these regions within the building inspection industry. We advise that if you are thinking of conducting building inspections, whether you’re a builder or otherwise, it is very beneficial to complete a building inspection course. The course outlines the Australian Standards that relate to building inspections, allows you to fill out a sample report, and explains the inclusions that should be inspected within your report.
