Tradie Forms: complete Queensland Form 12 specialist work compliance statements on the official PDF layout before attaching them to a permit application. Capture property, work scope, basis, references, and qualified person details on site.

Form 12 is not a quick tick-and-flick. It asks for the property, the specialist work scope, the technical basis for the statement, supporting references, and the suitably qualified person giving the compliance statement.

Use the QLD Form 12 template. Compare related building certificate workflows in the Form 12 vs Form 15 guide.

What Form 12 is for

Queensland Form 12 is a compliance statement for specialist plumbing or drainage work under the Plumbing and Drainage Regulation 2019. It is used where a suitably qualified person gives a statement supporting specialist work as part of the permit process.

Use the Business Queensland plumbing forms page and the PDR 2019 as official references.

Details to collect before you export

Property and work

Identify all land the subject of the application and describe the extent of specialist work covered by the statement. The work description should be specific enough to match drawings, specs, and permit conversations.

Basis and references

Explain the basis for giving the statement and list the publications or standards relied upon. Add the local government reference and any supporting documentation references required for the permit.

Qualified person and declaration

Enter the suitably qualified person details, qualification, signature, and declaration date. This block is the authority behind the statement, so licence and qualification details must be current.
