About Need a Tradie

Australia's growing directory of verified, licensed tradies — connecting homeowners with the right person for the job.

Our mission

Finding a good tradie in Australia shouldn't be hard. Yet every year, millions of homeowners waste time chasing quotes, dealing with no-shows, and second-guessing whether their tradie is actually licensed.

Need a Tradie was built to fix that. We've created a directory where every listed business has a verified ABN, where licensing information is front and centre, and where homeowners can get free quotes without being hassled by call centres.

For tradies, we provide a platform to build their online presence, collect real reviews, and receive leads from homeowners who are actually ready to hire — not just browsing.

What we stand for

Verified tradies only

Every tradie on our platform has their ABN checked against the Australian Business Register. Licensed trades require licence verification.

🏠

Built for Australians

We understand Australian licensing requirements, state regulations, and how locals search for trade services.

🆓

Free for homeowners

Getting quotes from tradies costs nothing. We're funded by tradie memberships, not by charging you for leads.

📍

Hyper-local matching

We match jobs to tradies by suburb and postcode, not just by state. You get tradies who actually work in your area.

Coverage

Need a Tradie covers all 8 Australian states and territories — from metro areas like Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide, to regional centres and rural communities.

We currently support 27 trade categories including electricians, plumbers, builders, tilers, painters, carpenters, roofers, landscapers, pest controllers, and more.
