Licence to work as a plumber
Can someone tell me what are the minimum qualifications needed to obtain a licence to undertake plumbing work in Australia?
I am a DIY plumber who just wants to do my own plumbling in Australia but I have been told that, unlike in the UK, all plumbing needs to be done by a licenced plumber. I would therefore like to get this licence in Australia.
Thank you

Re: Licence to work as a plumber
Can anyone now tell me whether the apprenticeship needs to be full-time, and who actually issues the licences. Also, is there any scope for getting past qualifications/skills excemption?
Thank you
Thank you

Where are you heading as all states have different rules and different licencing authorities.

Re: Licence to work as a plumber
Licences are issued by QLD government, see this site on requirements to be issued a smart licence. I have no idea about the process, so if you don't get any answers from here then send them an E-mail
