I'm a locksmith who goes back & forth between working as one full time
and doing on the side. Right now it's the later.
I'm about to move to Australia in March and wanted to know if anyone
knew the laws down there on both the possession of tools and the
actually working as a locksmith. Do they have different laws for
different states and maybe even local jurisdictions?
I'm not planning on going down there to work as a locksmith, but I
would hate to give up my tools because it's always a trade I can fall
back on.
Thanks.

Tom,
We have a few Australian locksmiths that frequent this group and I'm sure some of
them will get back to you on this. I envy you.... Nice country and the guys on
here seem to be a great bunch.

Tools shouldn't be a drama, but just be aware that if you do a few jobs on
the sly, and you get caught out, without a licence or ABN number (tax) etc,
then they will have your guts for garters. Just bring some type of
credentials with you re- your previous Locky employment etc. There are a few
Locksmith associations here such as 'The Master Locksmiths Association',
Locksmiths Guild Of Australia, Australian And New Zealand Locksmiths
Association. Cheers mate.
Thanks Steve. If I do start up locksmithing again, I'll make sure to
do it legit. But my hope is that my business of writing software for
sale will keep me quite comfortable.
I would say cheers back to you, but I can't quite bring myself to use
the lingo until after I move there. You'll have to settle for a
thanks.
