Every credential a council or property manager needs — in one tap

Whether you're pitching for a council street tree management contract, briefing a strata manager on a hazardous tree removal, quoting a residential tree pruning programme, or exhibiting at a landscape and garden industry event, one tap opens your full profile — arborist qualifications, ISA certification, insurance, specialties, portfolio, quote form, and contact — so you're on the approved contractor list before the tender closes.

🌳

AQF arborist qualifications

Display your AQF arboriculture qualifications — Certificate III in Arboriculture (AHC30716), Certificate IV in Arboriculture (AHC40616), or Diploma of Arboriculture (AHC50616). Councils, property managers, and landscape architects see your formal training — the signal that your pruning method, tree risk assessment methodology, and tree removal technique are based on the Australian standard for arboricultural practice, not improvised from general landscaping experience.

🏆

ISA Certified Arborist credential

Display your International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) Certified Arborist credential if held. Councils and commercial clients recognise ISA certification as the gold standard for professional arboriculture — it demonstrates ongoing professional development, examination-validated knowledge of tree biology, climbing technique, and risk assessment, and commitment to best-practice arboricultural standards. ISA-certified arborists win council tenders and development application tree reports that non-certified contractors don't.

📋

Quote form and service enquiry

Link your ServiceM8, Tradify, or website quote form. Property managers, strata companies, and homeowners submit a quote request directly from the tap — you capture the lead at peak intent, whether that's at a strata and property management conference, a garden and landscape expo, or a council procurement briefing where the annual tree management contract is being let.

🔧

Specialties and arboricultural services

List your arboricultural specialties — crown pruning and reduction, crown lifting, deadwooding, hazardous and emergency tree removal, stump grinding, land clearing, tree risk assessments (Level 1, 2, and 3), development application tree reports, heritage tree management, tree transplanting, deep root fertilisation and aeration, cabling and bracing, and tree health assessments. Councils and property managers match your scope to their management programme before calling.

🏠

Council and property manager preferred contractor

Local councils are the largest single client for arborists in Australia — they manage thousands of street trees, park trees, and reserve vegetation that require ongoing pruning, hazard assessment, and removal programmes. Property managers commission arborists for strata, commercial, and residential properties on a recurring basis. Tap your ZapCard at council procurement events, REIV, UDIA, and strata industry events. Your qualifications, ISA certification, and quote form are in every procurement and facilities manager's phone.

Built for every arborist setting

Local council tree management contracts

Local councils manage thousands of street trees and park trees and let annual or multi-year tree management contracts to qualified arborists. They require AQF qualifications, ISA certification (often mandatory for tree reports), public liability insurance, and a proven track record. Tap your ZapCard at council procurement and LGA events. Your qualifications, ISA credential, insurance details, and quote form are in every parks and gardens procurement manager's phone before the tender is advertised.

Strata and commercial property managers

Strata and commercial property managers are responsible for trees on common property — crown pruning for powerline clearance, hazardous tree removal, stump grinding, and risk assessment reports for insurance purposes. They commission arborists on a recurring annual basis. Tap your ZapCard at REIV, SCA, and property management industry events. Your qualifications, tree risk assessment capability, and quote form are in every property manager's phone — making you the arborist they call for every property in their portfolio.

Development applications and tree reports

Architects, developers, and homeowners need arborist reports for development applications that involve trees near construction — tree protection zones, root mapping, impact assessments, and tree retention recommendations. ISA certification and diploma-level qualifications are often required by councils for DA tree reports. Tap your ZapCard at planning, architecture, and development industry events. Your ISA credential and DA tree report experience are in every planner and architect's phone.

Landscape architects and designers

Landscape architects designing parks, gardens, and streetscapes specify arboricultural services for tree establishment, soil improvement, and ongoing management programmes. Tap your ZapCard at AILA, IFLA, and landscape industry events. Your tree planting, establishment, and management expertise are in every landscape architect's phone — making you the arborist they include in every project specification.

Residential homeowners and hazard trees

Homeowners with large established trees need arborists for crown reduction, deadwood removal, hazardous tree assessment, and removal — particularly after storms and wind events. Tap your ZapCard at home and garden expos and suburb community events. Your qualifications, emergency response capability, and quote form are in every homeowner's phone — making you the arborist they call before the next storm hits.

Tradie referral networks

Landscapers, builders, concreters, and gardeners refer arborists constantly — site clearing before construction, tree removal for renovation access, stump grinding before paving, and development application tree reports. Swap ZapCards on every site. When their client asks "do you know a good arborist?" your qualifications, ISA credential, and quote form are one tap away.

Frequently asked questions

How does ZapCard work for arborists?

Tap your ZapCard against any smartphone (iPhone or Android). The recipient's phone opens your arborist profile — qualifications, ISA credential, specialties, quote form, and contact — instantly, with no app needed on their end. You control what's on your profile and can update it at any time from your dashboard.

Does the recipient need an app to receive my contact?

No. Any modern iPhone (XS or later) or Android phone with NFC enabled can receive your card with no app required. The tap opens your profile in the phone's default browser.

What if the phone's NFC is off or the phone is old?

Every ZapCard also has a QR code on the back. Scan the code to open the same profile — no NFC needed. Works on any smartphone with a camera.

Can I show my ISA Certified Arborist credential on my profile?

Yes. Display your ISA credential number and certification status. Councils and commercial clients can verify your ISA certification — one of the fastest ways to differentiate yourself from non-certified contractors when tendering for council or commercial contracts.
