Information for applicants

Each application form lists the information you need to provide for that category. All applicants must pay the required fee and provide a photograph which will appear on the registration/licence card.

If you have any questions, please email plumbers.licensing@nt.gov.au before submitting your application.

Information for people intending to move interstate

If you are currently registered/licensed elsewhere in Australia, you can apply for an Northern Territory (NT) licence / registration under mutual recognition and you will be issued with the NT equivalent of your licence. For further information, read the attached information sheet PDF (131.0 KB).

If you have a current NT registration / licence card, you can apply for the equivalent in other states. However, this will be issued only in the categories of plumbing and draining. For further information, read the information sheet PDF (72.2 KB).

Information for people intending to travel between Australia and New Zealand

The mutual recognition principle applies between Australia and New Zealand in the same way that it applies for people moving from one Australian state to another. If you are moving from New Zealand to the NT, complete the mutual recognition application form provided below. If you are moving from the NT to New Zealand, visit the NZ Plumbers Gasfitters and Drainlayers Board website for further information.
