58: Effect of suspension

You could also call this:

"What happens when your plumber or gasfitter registration is suspended"

Illustration for Plumbers, Gasfitters, and Drainlayers Act 2006

If your registration is suspended, you are not a registered person for that class of registration while it is suspended. Your practising licence for that class is also suspended during this time. If your practising licence is suspended, you do not hold a current practising licence and you cannot do work under that licence. When the suspension period ends, your registration, practising licence, or provisional licence is revived unless there is another reason to suspend or cancel it. You can find more information about what the Registrar can do under section 74(1) and section 74(2).
