VIC plumbing regulations now align with RAC permit scheme

New Victorian plumbing regulations came into effect on the 18th November 2018.

The new regulations remove the requirement for a licensed plumber to sign off on refrigeration and air conditioning (RAC) work, better reflecting the way the RAC industry actually operates.

The competencies for the new regulations also align better with the RAC permit scheme, with the underlying qualification being in the electrotechnology stream.

These changes are good for RAC technicians and demonstrate that the RAC permit scheme is seen as the licensing standard for RAC work.
