Have your say - builders and plumbers

The Department of Transport and Planning (DTP) is developing mandatory Continuing Professional Development (CPD) requirements for registered builders, and licensed and registered plumbers.

A Regulatory Impact Statement (RIS) and proposed Regulations have been prepared outlining three options for introducing CPD requirements in Victoria.

If you are a registered or licensed practitioner, please visit the Engage Victoria website to find out more and provide your views on options for a CPD framework in Victoria.
