What is the Find a Local Contractor database?

It’s a QBCC-owned and operated platform that connects you with your local community. It helps home owners find trusted professionals for building, renovation or repair work—right in their area—by using location and licence search functions.

It’s an easy way to get seen by home owners in your local community and beyond, who are already looking for someone with your skills.

It’s free, and we actively promote it to home owners.

How do I get listed?

Here’s how to get started in just three simple steps:

1. Hold an active QBCC licence

To be listed, you need an active QBCC licence. Your licence type will appear in search results, helping customers find the right contractor for their building or renovation needs.

Tip of the trade: 

Unlike some paid directories, home owners using this QBCC-run tool can search with confidence, knowing you’re verified and up to date. No need for them to double-check the QBCC register to check you’re licensed—it’s built into the search.

2. Activate your myQBCC account (if you haven’t already)

Whether you’re new to the industry or you’ve been around a few seasons, you might not have activated your myQBCC account yet. It’s not automatically set up when your licence is issued so, make sure you sign up by completing a quick online registration form. 

Register for myQBCC.
