Well the new fees have been gazetted and take effect 1 August 2010. 
Fees for registration as a licensed plumber (i.e. first time applicant) = $500
Fees for registration as a certifying plumber (i.e. moving from licensed to certifying) = $500
Fees for both categories of gasfitter as above
Fees for both categories of drainlayer as above
Fee for issue of a certificate of registration $50 (this is non negotiable you now HAVE to have a certificate of registration issued)
Fee for an addition or alternation tot he Register $50

Note that what the compromise appears to be is that this $500 fee will include the relevant licese fee for the first year the registered person would be licensed and include the fee for the issue of a certificate of registration.

So it used to be - $85 for registration, + $50 for the licence (if you wanted it) + $205.00 licence + $55 disciplinary, now it will be $500.00 + $266 disciplinary.  (Old total$395.00 - new total $766!!)

The licence fee for all categories has dropped to $100.00 in all categories.
Trainees licenses remain at nil
Application for an exemption in all categories $100
Employer Licenses $500 (this is too cheap in my opinion!)
Disciplinary Levy - $266.00 (regardless of the number of licenses held).
Exam fees remain at $300
Fee for reconsideration of an examination fee $100
Re-audit fees $135.00

Well people what do you think about that?

Just read the fees!

I'm a Plumber and Drainlayer. This year my fees cost $410.

Yes they've dropped the licence fee but with the increase on the disciplinary levy I'm up for $466.

You only win if you pay for 3 licences the way I see it.

Also if your an apprentice going through as a plumber, gasfitter and drainlayer you'll end up paying $3000 by the time your qualified just to become registered. As an example you need to become a licenced plumber first($500), then to become a Certifing plumber another $500. Do this for gasfitting and drainlaying as well..... this is on top of apprentices paying their own fees!

When I did my apprenticeship it was all free! They're certainly putting barriers in the way of young people!

 STOP MOANING  tell all plumbers not pay, what would happen if the plumbers suddenly got balls, would we not be able to work i don't think so i think all a sudden the plumbers board would have to think again 
GET BALLS REFUSE TO PAY after all its not value for money is it
