Why You Need Plumbing Licence?
Plumbers are required to be registered and licensed in most states and territories in Australia in order to work on gasfitting, drainage, or plumbing projects. It is only when a person has demonstrated adequate abilities, knowledge and experience that a license is issued. Because of this, only licensed gasfitters and plumbers are allowed to work on these kinds of systems.
How To Apply
Gasfitting, drainage, and plumbing work must be performed by a plumber who is registered and licenced in most states and territories. While most states and territories do not share the same processes, there are several that do.
In order to obtain the most up-to-date information, please contact the licensing authority of your state. RTO or licencing bodies are not part of Educube Pty Ltd’s scope of operations
