It depends on the State that you are in. I am in Victoria, which seems to have the most regulations. So, I had a quick look at the Victorian Plumbing Regulations: http://www.pic.vic.gov.au/about-us/vict ... ory-system All plumbing work must comply with Part 12A of the Building Act 1993 and the Plumbing Regulations 2008. Part 12A of the Act sets out the legal framework for the registration and licensing of plumbing practitioners, and regulation of plumbing work and other plumbing matters. The Regulations are derived from the Act and set out the requirements that must be complied with.
