Start with your trade
Pick your trade and the Checker opens with it already ticked. Add any others you do.
What Tradies Bureau does for you
One app for the paperwork that keeps you on the tools.
Your compliance map
Everything that applies to your business, your people and your jobs, marked met, missing or due soon. Tick "Doesn't apply" with a reason when it doesn't.
Reminders before it lapses
A Sunday email with what needs you this week, and a WhatsApp message for anything critical. Text "check" any time for a live summary.
One live credentials link
Send customers and builders a link to your registration and insurance instead of PDFs. Renewals show straight away. Add the QR code to your ute.
Your team and your subbies
Fair Work statements, award checks, White Cards and licences for staff. Subbies upload their own certificates, and you check them before they count.
Tenders, contracts, handover
Invite trades to quote on a work package and see who's compliant. Sign contracts and variations online, and collect end-of-job certificates.
Set up for Victorian rules
BPC and Energy Safe Victoria registrations, WorkSafe, the Domestic Building Contracts Act and home warranty, kept up to date for you.
Take a look inside
Real screens from the app. The business, trades, clients and addresses are all made up.
Your compliance map

- Licences, registrations, insurance, training, staff and job certificates
- "Add it" or "Doesn't apply" on every item
- Change an answer and the map redraws
What your customer sees
Send one link instead of a pile of PDFs. It reads your records each time it's opened, so it's never out of date.
- Each item marked current or expired
- Links to check registrations on the official register
- Policy numbers masked to the last four digits
Tenders, compliant bidders first
Put a work package out to quote and see every bidder checked against what the job needs.
- What every bidder must hold, with minimum cover
- Live credentials, uploads or nothing sent yet
- Share the quotes with your client, read only
The Sunday digest
One email each week, sorted by what needs you first. Critical items also come by WhatsApp.
- Needs action now, coming up, and missing details
- Your compliance score
- Subbies with a certificate about to run out
The Compliance Checker
Where everyone starts. Answer the questions and see what applies before you sign up.
- Free, with nothing saved until you create an account
- Your answers become your checklist
Made for the phone in your pocket

Get going in three steps
Most businesses are set up in one sitting.
Check what applies
Answer questions about your trades, the work you do, your staff and whether you engage other trades. The map fills in as you go.
Create your account
Enter your name and email. We send a sign-in link, so there's no password. Your answers become your checklist.
Add what you hold
Upload your licences and policies. Photos work: we read the expiry date off the certificate for you. Then we keep watch.
Run tenders on compliant trades
Put a work package out to quote. Trades reply from a link, no account needed, and you see each bidder's licence and insurance checked against the job before you award it.
