I think you will find it a bit different in aus. Each trade you have to have a licence to carry out that work. I am a plumber and when installing bathrooms here i do everything from plumbing to tiling but have been told that i will only beable to install bathroom suite and wiil need a licenced tiler for the tiling. Not sure if this will be the same for bricklaying etc.
