From the Meter or Cylinder to the Appliance
Gas work, in the Queensland Government's words, means installing a gas system, taking one out, altering it, repairing it, servicing it, testing it or signing off on it. Every pipe and connection between the meter or cylinder and the appliance belongs to that definition too.
Queensland homes run on two fuel gases: natural gas delivered by pipe, and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) held in cylinders or a tank. The same licensing rules apply to both.
Much of the local housing stock went up before 1940 or through the interwar years, and those timber houses sit on stumps. A gas line under a raised floor behaves differently to one buried in a slab. Reaching it shapes how any repair or new run is done, whether the house backs onto Jubilee Terrace or sits up on the ridge.
Appliances need attention as well. Cooktops, barbecues and heaters should be checked and serviced periodically by a licensed gasfitter, and each one goes in and runs to the manufacturer's instructions.
Who Receives the Gas Certificate
When a gas system is installed or altered, the finished job gets a gas system compliance certificate. Your gasfitter signs it over to you as the owner the moment the work wraps up, and it certifies the installation complies with the safety rules.
Where a network pipes gas to the street, its operator is sent a copy inside 5 days.
Not every visit ends with one. That certificate belongs to installations and alterations, so a repair or a service call does not trigger it.
Keep your copy with the house records. It documents the work for insurers, future buyers and any renovation down the track.
How to Check a Gas Fitter's Licence
The law hands gas work to licensed gasfitters and nobody else. Before anyone opens a toolbox, ask to see their licence card.
The QBCC issues the licences: an occupational licence for the tradesperson doing the work, and a contractor licence for the business taking the job on. Both are searchable in the QBCC's online register, so you can confirm a licence is current before you book.
That check costs nothing and takes a minute, whether the job is a full new line or a single bayonet point near the heritage-listed grounds of St Joseph's School on The Drive.
What Decides the Price of Gas Work
Four things set the price of gas work, and the figure comes to you as a fixed quote before any work begins:
The job itself
a new appliance connection prices differently to a repair or a service.
Access
a line under a raised timber floor takes more time to reach than one on an open garage wall.
Gas points
each extra point adds pipe, joints and testing.
The supply check
before anything new goes in, the licence holder confirms the cylinders, the meter and the pipework can deliver the extra demand.
You approve the quoted figure before anyone picks up a tool, so the access and the points are all priced in up front.

Gas Fitting Questions Bardon Owners Ask
Call (07) 3524 7163What can a gas fitter do at a Bardon home?
A gas fitter installs, alters, repairs, services, tests and certifies gas systems, pipework included. Around Bardon the usual jobs are cooktop connections, extra bayonet points, appliance services and repairs after a fault.
Can a plumber legally do gas work in Queensland?
Yes, provided that plumber also holds a gas work licence. Gas is its own licensed class, so a plumbing licence alone does not cover it. Ask to see the licence card before any tools come out.
What paperwork comes with a new gas installation?
A compliance certificate for the gas system. Your gasfitter signs it over to you as the owner the moment the installation or alteration wraps up, and it certifies the job complies with the safety rules.
Who gets a copy of the gas compliance certificate?
You keep the original as the owner. Where a distribution network pipes the gas, its operator is sent a copy inside 5 days. File yours with the house papers for any future sale or insurance claim.
Does a new gas appliance in Bardon need a supply check first?
Yes. Before anything new connects, the licence holder checks the supply can meet the extra demand. That means the liquefied petroleum gas cylinders and how fast they vaporise, what the meter can pass, and the pipe sizes.
Should I call a gas fitter or my gas supplier about a leak?
Head outside first and ring from there. The supplier's emergency line is printed on your gas bill. Once the supply is safe, a licensed gasfitter does the repair; our gas leak repairs page has the detail.
