Wollongong and Illawarra builders must complete 12 CPD points every year under the Home Building Act 1989 (NSW) to keep their contractor licence active. Every point must come from NSW Fair Trading-approved training. The good news: you can complete every single one online — no drive to Sydney required.
Builders CPD Online (RTO 91528) delivers all 12 points entirely online, at your own pace, from $169. Over 40 courses cover all 8 NSW Fair Trading learning areas. Delivering CPD to NSW builders since 2004 — over 20 years of experience.
Who Needs to Complete CPD in Wollongong?
Any NSW-licensed builder or swimming pool/spa builder based in Wollongong, Shellharbour, Kiama, Dapto, or anywhere in the Illawarra region must complete 12 CPD points per year. No exceptions — this applies to every active contractor licence holder in NSW.
CPD is mandatory for these NSW licence types:
- Contractor Licence — Builder (residential)
- Contractor Licence — Swimming Pool/Spa Builder
- Building Professional licence
If your CPD is incomplete when your licence comes up for renewal, NSW Fair Trading will refuse to renew it. Your licence lapses. You cannot legally operate as a builder in NSW. That consequence applies to every Illawarra builder without exception.

Act immediately if:
- Your licence renewal is within the next 3 months
- You have not started any CPD this licence year
- You are unsure which learning areas you have covered
- In-person events you were relying on were cancelled or rescheduled
