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.

When is a tax invoice required?
A GST-registered business must issue a tax invoice for any sale over $82.50 (including GST) when the buyer requests one.
