Tasmanian Licensed Occupations Search is the state register operated by Consumer, Building and Occupational Services (CBOS), Department of Justice, Tasmania. It records current holders of Tasmanian occupational licences administered by CBOS, in five licence areas as listed by the search application: "Electrical, Plumbing, Gas Fitting and Automotive Gas Fitting", "Building Services Provider", "Motor Vehicle Trader", "Security and Investigation", and "Conveyancer". The public first chooses a licence area; for Building Services Provider a further licence-type step appears with the options "Company", "Municipal Council" and "Individual".
Domain Rating is a dated Ahrefs snapshot of domain authority. PetroHrys Score is an independent editorial assessment of the directory’s practical business value. They are separate measurements and are never combined. Domain Rating values are dated historical Ahrefs snapshots. Domain Rating is a dated historical measurement of the shared domain, not an assessment of this individual registry page. New measurements are not collected because the Research Center does not depend on mandatory authenticated APIs. Where several registries are published on one measured domain they repeat that domain’s single dated snapshot rather than each carrying a figure of its own. Domain Rating is a third-party metric produced by their respective providers, not by PetroHrys.com. Each recorded value carries its provider and the date it was measured, and describes the domain that was measured rather than one page on it. No source has been consulted for authority score, estimated traffic and referring domains, so they are not published for any record.

Public access
Open A visitor reaches the search application directly, with no account, no sign-in prompt and no charge; the licence-area choice and the criteria form were both reached anonymously.
Tasmanian Licensed Occupations Search can be searched free of charge and without an account, directly from Consumer, Building and Occupational Services (CBOS), Department of Justice, Tasmania.
The authoritative way to check that a Tasmanian tradesperson, building practitioner, motor vehicle trader, security agent or conveyancer holds a current licence before engaging them, and the only public place to confirm that an interstate licensee's Automatic Mutual Recognition notification is live and validated for work in Tasmania.
The search application states, in its own words: "This register will only display the details of current licence holders. For information regarding licence holders that no longer reflect on this register, please make an application through the Right to Information Act 2009" — the same sentence is repeated on the CBOS page "Find a licensed tradesperson".
ASIC does not license builders, electricians, plumbers, gas-fitters, motor vehicle traders, security and investigation agents or Tasmanian conveyancers; those licences are issued under Tasmanian law and administered by CBOS. ASIC's registers cover companies, business names, financial advisers and banned persons — none of which appear here — and this register carries no ACN, ABN or company status.
Limitations
It is not a company or business-name register and establishes nothing about corporate existence: Tasmanian occupational licensing sits alongside, not inside, the federal ASIC system, so a hit here proves a current licence to practise or trade, not registration of a company, business name or ABN. It also does not cover past licence holders, does not show whether a licence application is pending, and does not record incorporated associations (a separate CBOS function with its own search).
Current licence holders only; former holders are obtainable only by a Right to Information Act 2009 application.
Pending licence applications are explicitly out of scope.

Establishing required submission assets requires submitting a listing and observing the result. That has not been done for any directory in this dataset, so it is not published rather than estimated.

The PetroHrys Score is a first-party editorial assessment, not a third-party
authority metric. It is the weighted sum of the ten factors above, divided by ten, so the number
on this page is reproducible from the values shown. Each factor is scored from 0 to 10 by a human reviewer and weighted as shown. The definitions describe what was weighed, not a rubric: no threshold or formula maps a directory onto a value, and two reviewers could reach different numbers. The score is reproducible from the factors shown on every record, but it is an editorial judgement, not a measurement.
