Just a what if question?

One of the places I am considering moving to is Albury NSW or Wondonga VIC, the two are almost joined, just a river between them!

Now if work went dry in one, then could you work in the other? Could someone with a NSW licence work in VIC or visa versa?

you would have to ge a licence in both states mate

Wendy

You would need to apply to the other state for a licence under mutual recognition. Details for both states here:

So you get the licence in one state, then just fill in the form for the other, pay the fee (no suprises there ) and voila, you have a licence in both states

So getting a licence for another state is easy then?
Can you keep the licence you already hold? So in theory you could hold a licence for every state!

I am planning on living in Adelaide, I am just concerned that big city life will not appeal to me. Adelaide is over a million right? So it going to be similar in size to greater Manchester?

Wendy

As far as I know you can.

Adelaide is pretty small.The only really busy part is the CBD (Central Business District), but even that's not busy really. Probably less busy than Manchester.

If you look either towards the Hills in the east, Barossa Valley or Gawler in the North or Seaford, Moana and surrounds in the South you'll probably love it as they are really small, quiet places. All with their own shopping centres etc.

But you can hold a licence for two states simultaneously?

steve`o

you can hold two or more states contractors licences
so i cannot see why not
