To begin your PQC application you will be asked for your MyGovID. This verifies your identity and protects your company's information.

Once you have logged into the PQC portal using your MyGovID, complete the online registration form.

We will ask you for details including:

• company name
• ABN (registered for GST)
• ACN (if applicable)
• insurances
• office address
• licence or registration name(s) and number(s) (QBCC or equivalent)
• QLeave registration number (if applicable)
• management system certifications (if applicable)
• project history, including referee reports.

Note: For Best Practice Principles (BPP) applications, refer to the checklist for more required information.

There is no fee to apply for prequalification.

What happens next

The PQC team may contact you for more supporting information if required.

The PQC Registrar will send you an email confirming the outcome of your PQC application. If approved, you can review your registration status, including project types and maximum contract value in your registration's portal profile.

To be eligible to tender (either open or select) for a government building project, you must:

• be appropriately registered in the PQC System
• satisfy financial requirements
• meet project specific criteria.

Note: You can't tender for work as soon as you lodge your application. To be eligible to tender, you must be prequalified and registered on the PQC System.

Prequalification makes you eligible to compete for government building contracts, but it doesn't guarantee work. You must still go through the submission, review and acceptance process.

Upgrading your registration status

If you have existing access to the online portal for your business, you may upgrade your registration at any time by logging back into the portal.

You can update licences, insurances, management systems, project types, contract categories and service categories at any time via the portal.

If you wish to increase your maximum contract value, contact the PQC team, as you may need to give the PQC Registrar more information to do this.

If you don’t currently have access to the online portal for your business, contact the PQC team for next steps to set this up.

Being removed from the register

We may remove a building industry contractor from the PQC register at any time if they can't satisfy any or all of the prequalification requirements.
