Pathways to Plumbing

Plumbing is a highly skilled and challenging career that can take you anywhere! Plumbers protect the health of our community and the environment through professional plumbing services. Plumbers are installers of gas, water reticulation and irrigation systems, fire protection services, heating and cooling, mechanical services/air conditioning systems, sanitary disposal, drainage, metal roofing, wall cladding and other plumbing services. The provision of these services is essential for community health and well-being.

Qualified plumbers have skills and knowledge that will always be in demand!

Plumbing doesn’t just include fixing toilets!

To become a Plumber you will have to complete a Certificate III in Plumbing and undertake an apprenticeship (four years). An apprenticeship consists of both on the job and institutional training. Institutional training is undertaken via an RTO (Registered Training Organisation). A minimum year 10 education is required.
