Re: Plumbing licence in brisbane
I'm going on a student visa with my partner so i won't be a resident, I have checked up and it seems ok to get now as long as i have references from my employer proving 3yrs handling refrigerants.
However, i will need a restricted electrical licence, so maybe i'll have to wait for that!
Cheers

Good to hear you got the visa you will need to decide where to go! or do what we did start at the bottom and drive until you find a place you like.
Yes I have a job.
You can walk into the Plumbers and Drainers board with your certificates and walk out minus a few $ with a provisional licence but thats when the fun begins!!! but as i said the system is changing and you will have to speak to the board to find out what you will have to do to get the full licence. :scared:
