CodeCheck Play

Questions and answers.

We explain what the rulebook says and where to find it. You or your certifier will need to check whether your job meets those requirements.

What we do

What is CodeCheck Play?

A library of short animated videos on the National Construction Code and the Australian Standards each trade works to, explained in our own words. Each business or class has one trade library. New videos every week.

Our first four libraries: Electrician, Plumber and Gasfitter, Carpenter and Builder, Waterproofer. More trades are coming.

Are the videos checked?

Yes. A video only goes in the library after we have checked it against the source documents it explains. If we find a problem with a video, we may correct it or take it out.

Can you tell me whether my job complies?

We tell you what the code says about it and where to find it. Whether your job meets it is for you, or your building surveyor or certifier, to decide.

Answers support your understanding and review, and must not be submitted to an authority as evidence of compliance.

How do we ask code questions?

On a business plan, the owner and each team member can ask questions on the "Need help?" page in the library. The plan includes two a month, plus one for each team member, shared by the business. The number for each month is set at the start of the 1st from the team at that time, except in a business's first 30 days, when each team member who joins counts straight away. We explain what the code says and where to find it. We aim to answer by the next business day.

Videos you need made

What if the topic I need is not made yet?

A member can ask us to make it: $50 a video, GST included. It is paid for when you ask, before we start.

A requested video is usually in the library within 1 to 2 days.

The finished video joins the library for every member. In a business the owner places requests; on an education licence, staff do.

Plans and billing

Can I cancel?

For a business plan, yes. The owner can cancel the business plan from the billing page linked on the team page in Play. When the subscription ends, access ends for the owner account and every team member.

How does the business plan work?

The business plan is $99 per month and includes one owner account. Each team member is $19 per month. GST included.

Join in November and keep these prices for 12 months, including for team members you add in that time.

Add a team member at any time. You see the amount before you confirm, and it is charged when you confirm. When someone leaves, you can give their place on the plan to the next person at no charge once 30 days have passed from the day they joined.

One monthly bill for the plan. Each video request is charged separately, when it is placed.

How does the education licence work?

$29 per staff seat per month ($348 a year) and $3 per student per month ($36 a year), GST included. At least 1 staff seat and 20 students, so the smallest licence is $1,068 a year, GST included. The whole licence is billed yearly, up front, on one invoice.

Each student place is for one named student and is not passed on to the next intake. Student places are for students aged 15 and over.

Videos are not included. Staff ask us to make them: $50 a video by card, or 10 videos for $500 on a purchase order. GST included. Purchase order videos are ready to use once that invoice is paid, and unused ones expire at the end of the licence year.

Is the completion record a certificate?

No. A business's completion record is a record of videos opened and quiz answers, not a certificate or evidence of competency.

Using it

Can I share my sign-in?

No. Each sign-in is for one person. In a business or a class, everyone has their own sign-in.

Still have a question? Email info@codecheckaustralia.com.au, or see the plans side by side.

Each sign-in is for one person and is never shared. In a business or a class, everyone has their own sign-in.
