Strategic Themes
World Plumbing Day
Did you know that 1.1 billion people lack access to a safe clean water supply and 2.6 billion do not enjoy the use of effective sanitation systems? The tragic result is 3.1 million children die each year as a result of diseases that could have been prevented if only the children had access to basic facilities, according to the World Health Organisation. There is nothing more important than clean drinking water and good basic sanitation to keep the world and the people who inhabit it healthy.
World Plumbing Day (WPD) is an international event on March 11 every year, initiated by the World Plumbing Council as a means of highlighting the important role plumbing plays in the health, safety and sustainability of our community.

Workplace Mental Health Initiative
Get the Pressure Down
Supporting the mental health and wellbeing of Tasmania’s plumbing industry.
The plumbing, roofing and gas-fitting industries are built on hard work, resilience and looking after others. But behind the work, the pressure can sometimes build.
Long hours, tight deadlines, demanding customers, financial pressures, workplace challenges, physical demands and the responsibility of running a business can all take a toll. Too often, people in our industry feel they need to simply push through.
Master Plumbers Tasmania is committed to changing that and it’s time to Get the Pressure Down
Get the Pressure Down is our mental health and wellbeing project, designed specifically to support the people behind Tasmania’s plumbing, roofing and gas-fitting industries.
Our aim is simple: reduce the pressure, start the conversation and make it easier for people to ask for help when they need it.
We want mental health to be treated just like physical health — something we talk about, support and take seriously.
Special thanks to Keystone Tasmania and Fiona McCarthy from WorkPS for their work and funding support for this initiative.
