Most plumbers charge between $80 and $200 per hour, depending on your state, the complexity of the job, and whether it's emergency work. Emergency callouts typically attract a higher rate of $150–$300/hr plus a callout fee.

All plumbing work connected to water supply, drainage, or gas lines must be done by a licensed plumber in every Australian state and territory. DIY plumbing is illegal for these tasks and can void your home insurance.

A standard blocked drain is usually cleared within 1–2 hours. If the blockage is severe or requires drain camera inspection and pipe relining, it may take 4–8 hours or longer.

A good plumbing quote should itemize labour, materials, call-out fees, and GST separately. Ask if the quote is fixed-price or hourly. Always get 2–3 quotes for jobs over $500.

Sudden water damage from a burst pipe is usually covered. Gradual leaks and general maintenance are typically not covered. Check your Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) for exact inclusions.
