The Master Plumbers’ Association of Queensland is proud to announce the appointment of four new Industry Ambassadors who reflect the strength, professionalism and future of the plumbing industry.

Emerging global supply chain conditions are impacting the availability and cost of key materials across the plumbing and construction industries—particularly plastic pipe systems. Members are encouraged to learn more about the situation and take steps to review their tenders, contracts, and procurement strategies accordingly.

The Master Plumbers’ Association of Queensland (MPAQ) is pleased to welcome Jody Monaghan and Melissa Millar as newly appointed External Board Members

While occupational licensing and safety obligations are regulated at a state level, minimum employment conditions are largely governed by federal modern awards, including the Plumbing and Fire Sprinklers Award 2020 (‘Award’). 

MPAQ welcomes the focus on construction productivity and will continue to advocate for reforms that support practical, sustainable outcomes for plumbing and gas businesses.

MPAQ’s 2025 advocacy focused on reducing red tape, supporting workforce growth, improving regulations, and amplifying the voices of licensed contractors.

Plumbers should ensure clients are made aware of any plumbing legislative requirements before undertaking alterations or additions to existing plumbing. This is particularly important for owners of apartments in multi-level developments.
