EZYFIX delivers reliable tapware solutions, offering both quality products and expert guidance for seamless tapware upgrades and installations.
Before getting started, check the plumbing and licensing requirements that apply in your state or territory. Requirements vary across Australia and may depend on your location, property and the exact work involved.
Some limited tasks may be permitted without a plumbing licence in certain states, while other jurisdictions require plumbing work to be completed by an appropriately licensed or registered person.
This page provides general information and links to official guidance. It does not confirm whether a particular installation can legally be completed without a licensed plumber and does not replace regulatory, legal or professional advice.
Plumbing and licensing requirements are managed by each state and territory. Advice that applies in one part of Australia may not apply somewhere else.
Review the current official guidance for your location before beginning.
Check that the EZYFIX product is compatible with your existing tapware setup and read the supplied installation instructions before removing or changing anything.
If the work required falls outside what you are permitted to complete in your location, arrange for an appropriately licensed plumber to complete it.
Different considerations may apply depending on whether you own, rent or live in a strata property.
Renters may need approval from their landlord or property manager. Apartments, units and townhouses may also be subject to strata, owners corporation or body corporate requirements.
Property approval and plumbing requirements are separate. Receiving approval to change the tapware does not necessarily mean the installation can be completed without a licensed plumber. Official tenancy guidance differs by jurisdiction and should be checked before proceeding.
Do not begin the installation until you understand what is involved and what requirements apply.
Contact the relevant regulator or speak with a licensed plumber if you are uncertain.

Renters deserve to feel comfortable in their homes, but changes to tapware should be approached carefully.
Before making a change:
Rental modification rules vary between states and territories. Some jurisdictions have specific forms or processes for requesting changes, while others require written consent for alterations or fixtures.
Apartments, units and townhouses may be subject to strata, owners corporation or body corporate rules.
Before changing tapware, check whether approval is required from your strata manager or relevant property body. This may be required in addition to landlord approval and local plumbing requirements.
If you are unsure whether the tapware or connected plumbing forms part of your private property or common property, contact your strata manager before beginning.
It depends on where you live and the exact work required.
Check the official plumbing and licensing requirements for your state or territory before beginning. Where the work must be completed or supervised by a licensed plumber, arrange for an appropriately licensed professional to complete it.
No. Plumbing and licensing requirements vary between states and territories.
The requirements may also depend on what is being removed, replaced, disconnected or altered as part of the installation.

Checking the official guidance for your location helps you understand whether you can complete the work or whether a licensed plumber is required.
You may need approval from your landlord or property manager before changing tapware.
Review your tenancy agreement and the official rental guidance for your state or territory. You must also check the separate plumbing and licensing requirements that apply to the installation.
