Welcome to the Plumbers, Gasfitters and Drainlayers Board

The Board is a body corporate consisting of nine ministerially appointed Board members who represent both the general public and the trade. The Board is committed to the promotion of high standards of work and the protection of public health and safety. This is achieved through the registration, authorisation and licensing of competent plumbers, gasfitters and drainlayers.

This site provides information regarding the plumbing, gasfitting and drainlaying industry for both tradespersons and the consumer.


Important Update: New Fees

The Plumbers, Gasfitters, and Drainlayers Board (the Board) would like to advise that new fees will come into effect from 31 July 2010.

If you already have your licence for the 2010-2011 licence period, then this will not affect you until you renew your annual licence on 1 April 2011.

Please note that the registration fee is not the annual licence fee. Registration only applies to those who have gained the appropriate qualifications to become either licensed or certified for the very first time (i.e an apprentice who is becoming licensed).

The fees are as follows:
Fee Type
New Fee
Registration
(one off payment to become either licensed or certified for the first time - this fee includes the cost of the certificate and the licence fee for that licensing year)
$500
Annual licence to be either licensed or certified
(formerly registered and craftsman)
$100
Discipline levy per practitioner
$266
These new fees now reflect the true cost of each of the Boards functions. Please see the table below in how these fees may apply to you:
