In Western Australia the Motor Vehicle Repairers Act 2003 says:
- If you operate a motor vehicle repair business you must hold a Motor Vehicle Repair Business Licence (MRB).
- Individuals wishing to carry out classes of repair work on or to motor vehicles are required to hold a Motor Vehicle Repairer's Certificate.
Motor vehicle repair business licence or motor vehicle repairer's certificate: what's the difference?
Are you:
- the owner of a motor vehicle repair business?
- a self-employed motor vehicle repairer?
- the operator of a mobile repair business?
- an employer of a certified repairer who supervises repair work?
If you answered "yes" to any of the questions above, you need a motor vehicle repair business licence.
Do you:
- own a repair business and do repair work?
- supervise the repair work of others?
- work under a supervisor who does not have a certificate for the same class of repair work as you?
- do repair work unsupervised?
If you answered "yes" to any of the questions above, you need a motor vehicle repairer's certificate.
