Hi,
Looks like the old tenant just cut the dishwasher hose from drain.
Is it possible to simply connect this back up again?
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @CosmoKramer. It's sensational to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about connecting a dishwasher waste hose.
It appears like the barb to attach the waste hose has been cut off. Unfortunately, you'll need to replace the S trap with one that has a barb like the Caroma 50mm White Combination S And P Traps With Dishwasher Connection. That would be the most straightforward solution, as I can't think of any way to connect the hose sufficiently without the barb.
Please let me know if you have further questions.

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Lisa28. It's wonderful to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about connecting a dishwasher drain pipe.
It would be best to measure the internal size of your barb hole to ensure you're using the correct sized drill bit. Typically, they would be around a 14mm inner diameter, so a 13mm drill bit should be about right with some wiggle room. You could also drill it out with a 13mm spade drill bit for a more budget-friendly option.
Please let me know if you have further questions.

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @slezak . It's terrific to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about connecting a drain hose.
That's the ticket. Not everyone wants to connect a dishwasher, so the barb comes blocked. When you want to connect to the barb, you just simply drill it out. You'll also need a hose clamp to fix the hose fitting onto the barb.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
