The QBCC issues and renews licences, sets minimum requirements for licensees, investigates complaints, and takes disciplinary action against non-compliant operators.

Always check a gasfitter's licence class before signing a contract. Different licence classes authorise different types and scales of work. You can verify both their licence class and status on TradieVerify or the QBCC website.
