QLD plumbing licensing requirements fact sheets


The Queensland Department of Infrastructure and Planning has released a fact sheet on plumbing licensing rules for plumbers and drainers who work as employees and those who want to work as contractors.

The fact sheet was developed in response to a number of enquiries seeking information on licensing in this area.

Licensed provisional plumbers and provisional drainers can work as employees. Provisional plumber/drainer licences issued by the Plumbers and Drainers Board (the Board) allow licence holders to work as employees of a contractor plumber/drainer.

To work as a contractor plumber/drainer the provisional licence holder must complete additional modules of training through a registered training organisation and apply to the Board for a plumbers and/or drainers licence.

Once licensed by the Board, the licence holder must also complete managerial and financial training approved by the Queensland Building Services Authority (QBSA) and then apply to the QBSA for a contractor licence.
