Builder with plans

The Government Licensing Service supports the NSW Government's policy of "Delivering Better Services" as outlined in the NSW State Plan.  The Government Licensing Service provides significant benefits to business, particularly small business, and the community by streamlining licensing processes, reducing red tape, and providing 24 hour multi-channel access through an integrated licensing system. The Government Licensing Service is already making licensing easier for business owners, recreational fishers, home builders, motor vehicle repairers, fundraising charities and property valuers.
