Certificates of compliance
As a licensed contractor you have the responsibility to issue COCs for plumbing, gas fitting or electrical work carried out. COC forms are available from the Office of the Technical Regulator on (08) 8226 5500 (gas fitting and electrical work only) or SA Water on (08) 8207 1402 (plumbing work only). Any enquiries relating to COCs or technical matters can be directed to the relevant telephone numbers above.
Changes to details
You must notify the Commissioner in writing (within 14 days) of changes to your personal or business details (eg address, directorship, business name, partnership etc).
Licence/registration card
As a licensed contractor and/or registered worker you will be issued with a photographic licence/registration card. If your company is licensed, you will receive a licence certificate, which you can display at your business premises.
Periodic returns
A licence lasts until it is suspended, cancelled or surrendered. A licence also will cease if the person holding the licence dies or, in the case of a company holding the licence, if the company is dissolved.
In order to maintain continuity of licence, you will receive an annual return to lodge your contractors licence or workers registration which will be posted to your Address for Service (ie, your postal address) approximately 2 months before the expiry date printed on your licence card or certificate. The periodic return is a document that lists certain information that you must provide to the Commissioner along with your licence fee. It is the responsibility of the licensee to lodge this licence before the expiry date to avoid a penalty fee.
If you hold a contractors licence your periodic return is due annually. (This will also cover any workers registration you hold.) If you hold a workers registration a periodic return must be lodged every three (3) years.

Surrendering your licence
It is important when you surrender your licence/registration that this is done in writing and either sent in or lodged over the counter. For further information contact us.
