Title: Plumbing in Brisbane
Post by: mark3166 on September 10, 2012, 01:12:31 PM: Hi, have any of you guys on here ever been over to work in Brisbane as a plumber, I'll be coming out of my time next year and wish to go and work in Aussie for a while. I believe it's pretty straightforward. What I wanted to know was, I am not actually a gas fitter so do you think I'd struggle to get work as a plumber only? Thanks

before you head over contact the queensland plumbers board and organise your regestration it dirt cheap over there compared to here my northern territory licence cost about $60 for 3 years
