Licensing rules differ by state. In Queensland, you generally need a QBCC glazing licence to quote or carry out glazing work as a contractor. In New South Wales, a glazing licence from NSW Fair Trading is usually required for work over $5,000 in value. South Australia doesn’t licence glaziers directly, though a business licence applies if you’re operating as one. Always check with the relevant state regulator before taking on paid work.
