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.
