TradieVerify is an independently operated Australian service that helps homeowners check whether a tradesperson holds a current licence. Its searchable directory brings licence records from state and territory government registers together, making it easier to verify a tradie before hiring or paying. Users can search by name, licence number or business name, and filter by state or trade.

Results show details such as licence status, type and conditions, with a direct link to the original government register for cross-checking. TradieVerify is free to use, requires no sign-up and takes no commissions from tradespeople. The site also publishes practical guides for Australian homeowners, including advice on checking licences, understanding state-by-state trade requirements, hiring safely and estimating project costs.

Topics range from electricians, builders and gasfitters to pool safety, landscaping, painting, tiling and pest control. Founded by Jess Smith in Sydney after a difficult renovation experience, TradieVerify aims to make licence checks simpler in Australia’s fragmented state and territory systems. It is not affiliated with any government agency
