    You would be guessing right. Lots of fairly average stuff too, but that happens everywhere.

    Well i am not sure weather your ticket will be recognized
    here , but for starters this is what you will need.


    Refrigerant Handling Licence: (for people only trained in the safe use of gases , and they do not hand out experienced persons licences anymore so you will have to get the ticket approved.)

    www.arctick.org/index.php


    Restricted Electrical Licence: (for work up to 1000v ac or 1500v dc , but no fixed wiring.)

    http://www.dir.qld.gov.au/electrical...ence/index.htm


    Certificate II in Split System Air Conditioning: (if the ticket wont be recognized
    , or if you have only done refrigeration , not both.)

    http://www.logan.tafe.qld.gov.au/res...df/40488sa.pdf


    Blue Card: (if working on construction sites.)

    http://www.drandall.com.au/construction-induction.php


    Hope this helps you a little bit , but there is tons more if you are going to work for yourself.

    Good luck.
