Our Story

Staysafe Industry Training started with the simple idea of making licensing easier for tradies. Louise saw how complicated the process had become, and alongside her son George and teammate Reece, turned that frustration into action. Together, they’ve built a small, supportive team that keeps things clear, flexible, and drama-free so tradies can get licensed and get on with the job.
