FAQ
Which HVAC awards apply to my technicians in Australia?
It depends on the work and the business, not a single industry-wide answer. Many refrigeration and air-conditioning technicians are covered by the Electrical, Electronic and Communications Contracting Award [MA000025], and plumbing and fire protection work may fall under the Plumbing and Fire Sprinklers Award [MA000036]. Check current coverage and rates with the Fair Work Ombudsman — the scorecard points you to the right regulator, but it is general information, not legal advice.
Am I audit-ready for Fair Work or the relevant state authority?
Audit-readiness means you can show complete, consistent records when someone asks — timesheets, allowances, maintenance and safety records, and the paperwork that matches what actually happened on site. The scorecard gives you a structured way to rate those areas yourself so you can see gaps before an audit, tender, incident or dispute does it for you. It is a self-assessment, not a legal determination.
Does it include DA19 maintenance schedules?
No. It checks whether your records tie each asset to a named source such as DA19. Tasks and frequencies must be checked against the current DA19 edition or the standard in your contract.
Is this legal advice?
No. It is general information to help you find gaps. Check your obligations with the relevant regulator or adviser.
Does it cover my country?
It covers Australia, New Zealand, the United States and Canada. Some cells are marked “to verify” where requirements vary by state, province or contract.
Who should complete it?
The person responsible for compliance, with the service manager.
