What verification means
Supplier applicants provide an ABN and are manually reviewed before activation. Licensing and insurance requirements vary by trade and state; check both directly before hiring.
We do not hold copies of trade licences or insurance certificates, so always ask to sight both before work begins. State licensing bodies offer free online licence checks.
