The Gas Standards Act 1972 and Gas Standards (Gasfitting and Consumer Gas Installations) Regulations 1999 requires a person to hold a gasfitting permit to undertake or supervise gasfitting work in Western Australia.
Gas fitters are sent three reminders via SMS and email for the renewal of their gasfitting permit. The last reminder is emailed one month prior to the expiry date, noting that it is the final reminder and advising gas fitters they will be unlicensed after the expiry date. Gas fitters undertaking or supervising gasfitting work after the expiry date may be in breach of the Gas Standards Act 1972 and disciplinary action may be taken.
Renewal
For quicker processing, pay to renew your gasfitting permit using the department's online renewal system. To use the online system you will need to know your permit number (shown on your identification card) and have a mobile telephone number and/or email address on file with the department.
In order for us to safeguard your personal information, you will be sent a one-time security access code by email and/or SMS to access the online system.
It is your responsibility to ensure you hold a current permit at all times you are performing regulated work.
If you cannot access the online system, payment can be made in person at Level 1, Mason Bird Building, 303 Sevenoaks Street (entrance Grose Avenue) Cannington - cash, cheque, money order, EFTPOS, Mastercard or Visa accepted.
Remember, if you change your address, you must notify the Director of Energy Safety within 14 days of the change occurring.
Fees
Current application fees for gasfitters can be found in the fee schedule.
