Electricians' employment
Working with an electrician
Electricians may work alone but are usually employed as a sub-contractor by the builder, however you may employ one directly for repairs and new installations.
Electrical work
Electricians are needed for fixed wiring work, electrical equipment and switchboards. Disconnection and reconnection of fixed electrical equipment, including refrigeration, air conditioning, type B gas appliances and electrical machinery, requires tradespeople with restricted electrical licences.
Check licensing
Electricians need to be licensed. They may have restrictions or endorsements on their licence. You can find an electrician who has the relevant qualifications and expertise and can check any restrictions on their licence from our list of licensed electricians.
Get a certificate
Electricians must give you a copy of a Certificate of Electrical Safety once they have tested their electrical work for compliance. The electrical equipment you have that an electrician needs to work on must comply with minimum safety standards.
Regulation
Anyone who believes a licensed or formerly licensed certifier has not fulfilled their obligations may put their concerns in writing by giving us feedback. Complaints may result in disciplinary action.
