Our HistoryIn 1891, 57 plumbing contractors paid a £1 subscription to enable the establishment of the Associated Master Plumbers of Victoria. The first member to pay a fee was Mr J.E. Cornochan of Jackson Street St Kilda. By 1893 the Association was recommending a course of lectures which included items such as plumber's work and house drainage in relation to public health, bad plumbing and its prevention, eveil effects of bad plumbing and drainage work and the system of sewerage as adopted by the Metropolitan Board of Works. Today, the Master Plumbers Association has over 900 active members accessing information, advice and training.
The Master Plumbers Crest
In Greek mythology Hygieia was the goddess of health, hygeine and sanitation. She was also associated with the prevention of sickness and the continuation of good health. By incorporating Hygieia in the Master Plumbers crest, the Association recognises the important role that plumbing plays in public health and safety.
