What is plumbing work?
In Victoria, anyone who undertakes plumbing work is required to be licensed or registered with the Plumbing Industry Commission. Plumbing work is generally defined under six types: water supply, gasfitting, sanitary, roofing, draining or mechanical services (heating, cooling and ventilation).
- Water supply is defined as the installation, alteration or repair of any pipes, fittings, appliances or other items that directly or indirectly involve the supply of potable (ie drinking) water.
- Gasfitting is defined as the installation, alteration or repair of any pipes, appliances, flues, fittings, apparatus control or other items involved in the supply or use of gas. This includes gasfitting work related to caravans or other recreational vehicles, but does not include filling or refilling a gas storage container.
- Sanitary is defined as the installation, alteration or repair of any drains, fittings, pipes, fixtures, appliances or other items involved in the collection, conveyance, disposal or treatment of sewage, trade waste or greywater.
- Roofing is defined as the installation, alteration or repair of any roof gutters, flashings, piping, sheeting, roof covering or other above ground items involved in the collection, coveyance, disposal, treatment or reuse of stormwater.
- Draining is defined as the installation, alteration or repair of any drains, pipes, fittings, appliances or other items involved in the collection, conveyance, disposal or reuse of stormwater or sewage that is underground.
- Mechanical services is defined as the installation, alteration or repair of any valves, regulators, registers, pipes, ducts, flues, tanks, heating and cooling lines or surfaces, boliers, burners, solid fuel heaters, coils or other items involved in heating, cooling or ventilating your building by mechanical means.
