Tips for Plumbers
- Always list your plumbing licence number on invoices — it is a legal requirement in most states.
- Charge a separate call-out fee on the invoice so the client understands the base cost before labour begins.
- For insurance work, include the claim reference number and insurer details on the invoice.
- Photograph the job before and after — attach images to work orders for your records.
Compliance Notes
- State plumbing licence number must appear on invoices and quotes.
- GST registration is mandatory at $75,000 turnover.
- Compliance certificates must be issued for regulated plumbing work (e.g., backflow prevention, gas fitting).
- TPAR applies — report payments to subcontractors for plumbing services.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do plumbers need to include a licence number on invoices?
Yes. In most states and territories, licensed plumbers must display their licence number on all invoices, quotes, and advertising. Check your state regulator for specific requirements.
How should a plumber invoice for emergency call-outs?
List the call-out fee, after-hours surcharge (if applicable), labour, and materials as separate line items. Include the date, time of arrival, and a description of the fault and repair.
What warranty obligations apply to plumbing work?
Statutory warranties under Australian Consumer Law apply. In most states, plumbing work carries a minimum warranty of 6 years for major defects. Specify your warranty terms on quotes and invoices.
