    Frequently Asked Questions

    Have questions? We’re here to help.

    General

    • You will require a plumbers licence in most states across Australia. This ensures that you comply with regulations and standards. For example, in NSW, you need a licence before you can do any plumbing, draining or gasfitting (including LP gasfitting) work in NSW, regardless of the cost of the work and regardless of whether the work is residential, commercial or industrial. Holding a plumbers licence also ensures you meet the requirements of any regulating bodies which will avoid you incurring penalties or fines. You can also legally market your services and initiate contracts/tenders, both of which ensure you earn more than unlicensed plumbers.

    • To become a licensed plumber, you need to meet the minimum requirements in your state. For example, in NSW, here are the steps to becoming a licensed plumber:

      1. Complete a plumbing qualification with Qualify Me.
      2. Undertake construction induction training and obtain a White Card.
      3. Apply to Fair Trading NSW for your plumbers licence.
