Before you hire an arborist

Licence check. There’s no specific NSW trade licence for tree work, so ask about the arborist’s qualifications, experience and public liability insurance. Many councils need to approve removing or pruning some trees, so check with your council first.
  • Check their licence (and that it covers your type of work) before you hire.
  • Ask for a written quote that lists labour, materials and GST.
  • For residential work over $5,000 (incl. GST) in NSW, get a written contract.
  • Confirm they hold public liability insurance.
  • Check the ABN on the ABN Lookup website.
  • Ask how long the job will take and who will be on site.
