As far as I know you dont need one.

I got my trade assessed for my PR visa, cost me over 2k.

It as a long time ago circa 97 when I did it, working holiday visa for a year, got a job then the boss drove me into sydney somewhere and they had a look at my City + Guilds certs (N. Ireland) and issued the licence straight away as in there and then. Small fee.

Call them, If I'm wrong, they will point you in the right direction.
