• Waterproof the entire bathroom floor if it is made of wood or if the bathroom is on the second or higher floor.
• It should have a waterproof water stop for every tiled shower base.

These are the minimum requirements but you may also want the areas around the bath, toilet and vanity unit to be waterproof depending on your needs.

The laws on who can perform waterproofing are slightly different between separate Australian states and territories. The individual doing waterproofing in your home needs to carry a present waterproofer license in both Queensland and NSW. In other states, waterproofers must provide a declaration of compliance once the work has been completed.
