In the wake of South East Queensland's heavy rain from the remnants of deadly Tropical Cyclone Debbie, HEALTH AND SAFETY MUST REMAIN A KEY PRIORITY.

The health and safety of the community is reliant on professional, licensed people undertaking plumbing and drainage work. In Queensland, legislation stipulates that any unlicensed persons (people who are not qualified to undertake plumbing and drainage work) cannot perform what is considered "regulated wor", stipulated in the Plumbing and Drainage Act 2019.

As the COVID-19 lockdown restrictions ease, it is important that business owners ensure the safety of their building’s water systems before occupancy resumes.

MPAQ would like to warn people of water heater dangers and the importance of not performing plumbing work unless you are a licensed person after a recent report of a woman in QLD who received facial burns after a hot water system reportedly exploded.

Today, to celebrate World Plumbing Day, MPAQ is launching a new consumer campaign to promote the importance of using a licensed plumber and asking the public to consider what life would be like without plumbers.

A strong warning has been issued to the public looking at cheaper alternatives to fix plumbing and electrical issues around their house.

With several days of severe storms predicted in South East Queensland by the Bureau of Meteorology (BoM), the Master Plumbers’ Association of Queensland (MPAQ) is urging everyone to ensure that plumbing is a key priority in storm preparation.
