Only Use Licenced Electrical Contractors
The risks of electricity to both people and property are well-known, so all State and Territory Governments in Australia have legislation in place which regulates who can install, maintain and repair electrical installations for you.
A contractor that you engage to do work on your property must have a contractor license to contract or subcontract to do any electrical wiring work for you. These rules are for the protection of you the consumer - they give you recourse if something goes wrong, and also help to ensure that the electrical contractor or any other professional trade you use is qualified and able to carry out a quality job.
Homeowners with illegal wiring are warned that you may find that you are not covered by your home building insurance policy in the event of a fire when it can be traced back to the illegal wiring as the cause of the fire.
Don’t take a risk with electricity, only use reputable licensed electrical contractors to do work for you.
