The ABCB works closely with state and territory building and plumbing administrations and other regulatory bodies to support implementation of the National Construction Code (NCC) across Australia.

For matters regulated at the jurisdictional level, such as reporting illegal building activity, licensing or enforcement, you may need to contact your local administration directly. You can also report concerns about building and plumbing products through your local building and plumbing administration.

Contact the relevant administration in your state or territory using the details on this page:

  • for information on the legal requirements specific to your jurisdiction
  • to report illegal building or plumbing activity
  • if you've found a product that requires WaterMark certification or has been fitted illegally.
