Plumbing Licensing & Rules in Victoria
Important regulations and resources to help you hire with confidence in Victoria.
Plumbing Licence Required
Only a licensed plumber authorised by the Victorian Building Authority may carry out regulated plumbing work in Victoria. Undertaking plumbing work without the appropriate licence or registration can lead to significant penalties.
Compliance Certificates
Licensed plumbers must issue a compliance certificate for all regulated plumbing work and lodge it with the Victorian Building Authority within the prescribed timeframe. Certificates must also be provided to the client and retained for audit purposes.
WorkSafe Victoria Obligations
Plumbing businesses must register for workers’ compensation insurance and comply with occupational health and safety requirements administered by WorkSafe Victoria when employing staff or apprentices.
Insurance Requirements
Under ministerial orders, licensed plumbing contractors must hold insurance that includes at least $5 million public liability and completed work cover per occurrence. Additional cover is required for other liabilities—$50,000 for domestic work and $100,000 for non‑domestic work. Many commercial clients request higher limits such as $10–20 million.
Written Contracts
Victorian legislation requires written contracts for all residential plumbing work valued at more than $1,000 (including labour and materials). Contracts must include prescribed disclosure statements and comply with the Domestic Building Contracts Act.
Professional Development
Plumbers are expected to undertake regular training and professional development to keep abreast of changes in plumbing regulations. Victoria is introducing a mandatory Continuing Professional Development scheme; details should be confirmed with the VBA once implemented.
