Q: Why should I use a member of the MPA?
A: Your home is generally your most valuable asset, so who are you letting into your home?

Unfortunately, there is no licensing of painting contractors in Victoria or Tasmania, unlike in other parts of the country. So by using a member of the MPA you will have peace of mind that the contractor will:

  • have current public liability insurance
  • abide by the Association’s Code of Ethics - click here.
  • meet the Association’s membership criteria - see under Membership 

If you have already chosen your painter, why not give the MPA a call to check if they’re a member. If you’re still looking, let us assist you by providing a referral and contact details of some members in your area. Click here to send us your request.

 

Q: Have you considered the need for a Lead Risk Assessment on your home?
A:Paint containing lead was used in many Australian houses. Houses built before 1970 are most at risk, but those built more recently may also have paint containing lead in some areas.
For all projects where lead paint may be present, we recommend that you use a registered member of the MPA who are accredited in Lead Paint Management. Click here to send us your request.
