Delivering safe and compliant plumbing

The BPC aims to ensure safe and compliant plumbing is delivered by plumbing practitioners in Victoria.

We monitor for unregistered and unlicensed work across Victoria and responds when risks are identified. Our evidence‑based approach combines monitoring, targeted inspections, community reporting and enforcement action.

  • Compliance certificates

    Compliance certificates ensure the licensed plumber who carried out or supervised the plumbing work listed on the certificate is responsible for rectification of defects.
