Air Conditioning Licensing & Rules in Queensland
Important regulations and resources to help you hire with confidence in Queensland.
Mechanical Services – Air‑Conditioning & Refrigeration Licence
You must hold a QBCC mechanical services licence (air‑conditioning & refrigeration stream) to contract for, supervise or carry out mechanical services work in Queensland, regardless of the value of the job. Transitional arrangements ended on 1 January 2022.
Refrigerant Handling Licence
Technicians must hold a Refrigerant Handling Licence from the Australian Refrigeration Council and comply with the 2025 Refrigerant Handling Codes of Practice.
Electrical Work Licence / Restricted Electrical Work Licence
Refrigeration mechanics must not perform electrical work unless they hold an electrical worker licence or a restricted electrical work licence. A restricted licence only covers limited tasks such as testing, repairing and maintaining equipment and does not permit installation work.
Electrical Certificates of Testing and Compliance
Electrical contractors must issue a ‘certificate of testing and safety’ for work on electrical equipment or a ‘certificate of testing and compliance’ for electrical installation work. Certificates must be provided to the customer promptly and a copy kept for five years.
Workplace Health and Safety Compliance
Businesses must adhere to Queensland’s workplace health and safety regulations, including the 2024 amendments (e.g., amenities for construction work).
Public Liability Insurance
Public liability insurance is strongly recommended (often around $10 million cover) to protect against property damage or personal injury claims.
Environmental Compliance
National regulations prohibit importing or manufacturing multi‑head split systems using refrigerants with a GWP above 750 from 1 July 2025. Contractors must ensure equipment installed meets these restrictions.
Compliance with Australian Standards
Installations must comply with AS/NZS 3000:2022 (Wiring Rules) and AS/NZS 5149 for refrigeration and air‑conditioning safety.
