Mechanical Licensing

New mechanical services licencing requirements commenced on 1 January 2020. The new licensing framework will be implemented in stages.

From 1 July 2020, contractors must be licenced to carry out mechanical services work.

From 1 January 2022, all workers must be licenced to carry out mechanical services work.

Your circumstances will determine your pathway to obtain the licence you need.

Your Union is committed to assisting members in obtaining the necessary licence, if you require assistance please go to: https://forms.gle/3x6fcVAx4cTeyDrW7
