Waterproofing work in Australia must comply with the NCC and relevant Australian standards and can only be done by qualified and licensed contractors. In Queensland (QLD), this requires a current QBCC license.​Licensed professionals ensure all works meet these requirements—protecting the building, maintaining compliance, and reducing risk of defects and non-conforming work.

Waterproofing requires more than product application—it demands a clear understanding of construction, materials, substrates, trade requirements, and system compatibility.​Each project is assessed individually to ensure the correct system is specified for the conditions, environmental exposure, and performance requirements—delivering efficient installation and long-term results and protection.

Insurance providers require waterproofing work to be carried out by licensed contractors. Non-compliant or undocumented work can void coverage in the event of water damage—leaving owners, builders and contractors exposed to significant repair costs and liability.

Waterproofing should always be supported by clear and comprehensive documentation.​Compliant records, product specifications, and completion documentation provide a verified record of works—ensuring transparency at handover and ongoing protection into the future.

Warranty assurance relies on more than product coverage alone. Long-term performance depends on compliant installation, verified detailing, system compatibility, and documented quality control throughout construction.

In Queensland, requirements such as the Form 2 Seller Disclosure place greater importance on correctly licensed and documented building conditions and waterproofing to help protect property value and reduces risk during sale—ensuring the work is compliant, traceable, and defensible.
