Plumbing and drainers licences
Have your say on plumbing and drainage licensing laws
The Northern Territory Government is reviewing the Plumbers and Drainers Licensing Act 1983.
To provide feedback, go to the Have Your Say NT website.
Consultation closes 6 November 2026.
If you want to work as a plumber in the Northern Territory (NT) or set up a plumbing business, you must apply for NT registration.
To find out more, go to the Plumbers and Drainers Licensing Board website.
If you're currently registered as a plumber in another state or territory, you can apply for NT registration under mutual recognition in the equivalent category.
To search for an NT equivalent, go to the Australian Government's Department Employment and Workplace Relations website.
