Labourers
Job Description
Demolition workers perform tasks that involve a lot of physical labour. These demolition workers are onsite at construction and building sites and will start work to get a site cleared with both manual labour and labour that involves working with a machine.
Demolition workers will remove and dismantle structures and materials from a work site. These materials may include, but are not limited to, brick, concrete, timber and metal. Demolition labourers can be found working across metropolitan, rural and remote areas of Australia, ranging from Melbourne’s CBD and Geelong to remote towns.
Education and Qualifications
There are different types of demolition workers. Getting started in the industry requires experience as a general labourer. There are no formal education requirements, although some tickets are required for removing structures. Some of these tickets include your White Card, PPE and tickets that are related to removing hazardous materials such as asbestos.
For more experienced positions in demolition work, workers may be required to have formal education in Construction Management and at least 5 years’ experience in demolition. Construction Management degrees can include subjects such as engineering, project management and analytics of geography and soils.
Demolition Work Licence
Each State across Australia has different laws for demolition work. In NSW, general labourers or construction labourers can work for a demolition company but all workers are required to hold a demolition licence. There are two types of demolition licences, the Demolition License and the Restricted Demolition Licence.
Demolition Licence
This licence is required if you are planning to demolish a building, structure or installation that involves using a tower crane, floor piping or explosives. The licence also allows you to demolish buildings that are over 15 metres tall, are chemically installed or for any structure that is pre-tensioned or post-tensioned.
Restricted Demolition Licence
This licence allows the demolisher to work with any building, structure or installation that is between 4 and 15 metres tall and involves excavators, bulldozers and cranes. It also allows you to work with load shifting machinery on suspended floors.

Asbestos Licences
There are two types of asbestos licences. Any general labourer working in on a site that could possibly be contaminated with asbestos should have an asbestos licence. These licences are provided by many national recognised organisations. Click here
to find out where you can get your asbestos ticket.
Class A Licence
This licence allows you to remove friable asbestos, non-friable asbestos and any asbestos-contaminated dust or debris (ACD).
Class B Licence
This licence is more common and allows you to remove 10 square metres or more of non-friable asbestos, like fibro sheets. Having a class B licence only allows you to remove the asbestos-contaminated dust or debris (ACD) that is directly associated with the removal of non-friable asbestos.
Where To Find Work as a Demolition Worker?
Demolition workers can find work at WorkFast or in any building or construction company. Many demolition workers are contractors that work for themselves.
