Welcome

FROM THE STATE SECRETARY
BRAD O’CARROLL

Welcome to the Plumbers Union Qld website. The Plumbers Union is one of the fastest growing and most progressive Unions in Australia, representing licensed plumbers and related workers in the water, fire, sanitary and mechanical plumbing industries.

Throughout the site you will find the most relevant information regarding wages and conditions, safety at work and training as well as information on the many benefits available to you as a member of the Union. I would encourage you to take the time to review the site and make sure you are getting the most out of your union membership.
