What a Queensland Plumbing Licence Covers
In Queensland, a person needs an occupational licence to do plumbing and drainage work, and a business taking the job on needs a contractor licence as well. Both come from the QBCC. An occupational licence proves the skills for the work; a contractor licence shows the business behind the job can carry the costs and run jobs properly.
Three licence classes do different work:
- A plumber's licence covers plumbing work, excluding anything that calls for its own endorsement.
- A drainer's licence covers drainage work below ground level, minus anything with a separate endorsement.
- Gas work sits apart: Queensland permits licensed gasfitters alone to install, alter, repair, service, test or certify a gas system and its pipework.
How Plumbing Work Is Regulated in Queensland
Two regulators split the job: the QBCC handles licensing and runs the notifiable work register, while the City of Brisbane grants permits and carries out inspections. Regulated work falls into permit work, notifiable work and minor work, and a licensed plumber or drainer must do all three.
The paperwork lands with you at the end:
- After notifiable work, a Form 4 copy goes to you as the owner, and the QBCC can supply one if it never arrived.
- Gas work finishes with the gas system compliance certificate in your hands on the day, and another copy lodged with the network operator inside 5 days.
The QBCC keeps two public checks you can run yourself:
- The licence register confirms a plumber holds a licence before you book.
- An address search shows whether a Form 4 has been registered for the property.
Licensed trades doing regulated work guard the house, the owner's health and the owner's rights, as the QBCC puts it. Work seems defective or unlicensed? The QBCC takes complaints online.

Plumbing Licence Questions Answered
Call (07) 3523 7172Does gas work need a separate licence?
Yes, gas work needs its own licence. Queensland treats gas work as licensed gasfitters' territory: installing, altering, repairing, servicing, testing or certifying a gas system and its pipework. Ask to see the gas work licence before any gas job begins.
Is every job in Bowen Hills done by a licensed plumber?
Yes, every job is done by a licensed plumber. QBCC No: 15024607 covers our licensed plumbing and gasfitting, so the person on your tools holds a licence for the work.
Who inspects plumbing work, the council or the QBCC?
The City of Brisbane issues permits and inspects, and council inspectors can examine notifiable work at whatever stage suits you. Urban Utilities looks after the public mains and sewer, while the QBCC handles licensing.
Which nearby suburbs does the team work in?
The run takes in the neighbours as well: Herston and Windsor both have their own pages. Every suburb we cover is listed on our areas page.
