In Western Australia, regulations do not permit unlicensed persons to work on electrical installations. Additional conditions apply to the licensing of electrical contractors including advertising as, or contracting to perform such work.
For enquiries regarding licensing, the qualifications to work, to undertake work, and/or to contract to perform electrical work on electrical installations please visit the Energy Safety website.
It is important to ensure that both individual (electrical worker) and business (electrical contractor or in-house) licenses are correctly registered and maintained. Visit the Energy Safety website to update your details.
