RENDERER SOLID PLASTERER

GYPROCKER DRYLINER
QEENSLANDER
POM DINGO
DOG
QUEENSLAND
LICENCE

WESTERN AUSTRALIA NEW SOUTH WALES
NO LICENCE LICENCE
Sorry could not resist to add to the confusion have lived and worked in auss
as a plasterer gyprocker for years it varies state to state as most
aussie stay in there state so the apprentice training is localised to there
state as western australia to queensland is a different training base
sorry for the waffle could not resist as for lolly i would stay in wa as the dosh
at the moment is better for a tradesman than Queensland

Yes he can work straight away, as long as he's working for a licenced contractor he doesn't need one himself.
If he wants his own gang later he'll then require a licence.

The award wage for a plasterer is the same as a that of a tiler = $670 bucks a week. That's about $17 bucks an hour.
A few companies pay over award wages, you get more as a casual.
