Plumbing Industry Association Of SA

Master Plumbers Association of South Australia Inc is a not for profit organisation based in Thebarton, South Australia.

Most recently known as the Plumbing Industry Association, we are now the Master Plumbers Association of South Australia Inc. This decision was made following vital industry, Member and public feedback.

We believe this is a step in the right direction for our Association and the industry.

The Master Plumbers Association of South Australia Inc provides leadership, resources and training for the South Australian plumbing community.

We provide a gateway for communications between industry members, government agencies and our members to ensure we provide the public with the best services and information possible.

Contact us and join today to enjoy the many member benefits and discounts from new tyres to cheaper phone plans.

A Master Plumber evolved from a journeyman (tradesman) to a Master only after completion of additional training and experience, and was then able to employ journeymen and apprentices.

The Master Plumbers Association in South Australia was formed in 1895 as a united body of these employers established to negotiate with the industry union.

That role continued almost unchanged until the early 1990’s with the introduction of Enterprise Bargaining Agreements. Since that time the association’s industrial relations role has significantly diminished.

As the association developed it introduced a number of different services as the need arose for its members, and of course to attract new members.

Our services to Members include Free Access to online Plumbing & Gas Standards, Award and Wage Advice, Referrals to members of the public looking for plumbers, our Plumbing SA Magazine, Member discounts from various providers, including phone deals, health plans, tyre deals, fleet discount, insurance, work wear, tools, and much more. We also provide legal assistance and advice, legislation information, Work Health & Safety advice, Technical and compliance advice, and much more.

In addition to our Membership, we are also a Group Training Organisation and a Registered Training Organisation. Please click the links to find out more about these services.
