Mutual recognition

​To reduce costs and improve regulation efficiency, the plumbing licensing, compliance and disciplinary functions transferred over to the Queensland Building and Construction Commission (QBCC).

For information on mutual recognition, please visit the QBCC website.

The Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy will still assess applications and approve occupational gas work licences.

The Department of Housing and Public Works will continue to reduce the red tape, delays and costs associated with this type of building work for the building industry and home owners.
