What’s changed?

In comparing the Plumbing Award 2020, to the Plumbing 2010, there are a number of changes between the two (2) documents. 

  • The vast majority of the changes are cosmetic; in that the clauses in the Plumbing Award 2020 have been renumbered and ordered or structured differently to the order or structure that was used in the Plumbing Award 2010.  
  • The terms and conditions of employment contained therein remain fundamentally the same as those prescribed in the Plumbing Award 2010.
