Victorian plumbers will be upskilling in eco-friendly practices in a new state government program.
About 200 plumbers and fourth-year plumbing apprentices will take part in a program training them on installing energy efficient heat pumps and solar hot water systems.

The program is in partnership between the state government and the Plumbing Industry Climate Action Centre (PICAC).
“Victoria’s solar and renewable energy sector needs plumbing professionals with the right skills as demand for renewable energy installations increase, as we transition to a clean energy future,” state Energy and Resources Minister Lily D’Ambrosio said.
The program will run until November 2023, with any eligible plumber or fourth year apprentice encouraged to join.
