Recognising plumbers
Abstract
The Mutual Recognition Act 1992 is supposed to address the problem of skilled labour licenses being in isolation in each State, plumbing being one of them. The aim is to make it easier for skilled workers to move between States and Territories. COAG has established a Steering Committee which lead to a Plumbers Action Group. Many licenses are in the scope, such as builders, motor repairers, air-conditioning and refrigeration mechanics, joiners, carpenters, bricklayers and electricians.
