Gaining backflow prevention accreditation

Sydney Water maintains a register of backflow-accredited plumbers. To be an accredited backflow prevention plumber you need to contact your local TAFE. You can also visit the TAFE website www.tafensw.edu.au and search for "plumbing" or "backflow".

If you are already accredited and want to be included in our register, send a copy of your certificate of attainment to the Backflow Prevention team or phone 13 20 92 for more information.
