FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about obtaining your LMCT licence in Victoria.

How much does an LMCT licence cost in Victoria?
The LMCT application fee is approximately $991.30, while the first year of licensing is around $1,489.80. These fees are set by Consumer Affairs Victoria and updated periodically. Our service fee varies depending on your circumstances — whether you're an individual or company, and what additional services are needed. We provide full fee transparency before you proceed.
How long does the LMCT approval process take?
After lodgement, the wait is typically a few weeks to a few months depending on whether forms were filled correctly and whether CAV needs further details. With our expert preparation service, we minimise the back-and-forth requests that cause most delays. Many of our clients receive approval within 6–8 weeks of lodgement.
Do I need to have business premises to apply?
Yes, approved business premises are a key requirement. You must provide evidence — either a lease, licence to occupy, or ownership documents. The premises must also comply with local council planning requirements. We assist with reviewing your premises documentation and advising whether a planning permit is required before lodgement.
What documents are required for the LMCT application?
Key documents typically include: proof of premises, planning permit (if applicable), police clearance certificates for all directors, financial references and bank statements, identity documents, ABN/ACN registration, trust account details, cash flow statement, and a business plan. Requirements vary — we provide a personalised checklist during your free consultation.
Can you help if my application was previously rejected?
Absolutely. We regularly assist clients whose previous applications were rejected. Rejections most commonly occur due to incomplete documentation, premises issues, or financial concerns. We assess the rejection reasons thoroughly, address each issue strategically, and resubmit with a significantly stronger application.
Can you help with planning permit applications?
Yes — planning permit assistance is one of our specialist services. We review your premises zoning, advise whether a permit is required, prepare your application, liaise with your local council, and coordinate the process alongside your LMCT application to minimise overall delays and get you trading as soon as possible.
