A national licensing system for electricians, carpenters, plumbers and other tradespeople will replace state-based accreditation after federal and state governments reached a historic agreement to combat skills shortages.
Under the biggest restructure of trades accreditation since federation, companies employing apprentices will receive a national licence, replacing the eight state and territory-based qualifications.

I raised this at a seminar I attended 10 days ago when two representatives of TRA were in attendance - I believe it will be another 12 months before there is a national system of licensing ... State politics and all that I'm afraid ...
Best regards.
