Energy Safe Victoria directs customers to engage a Registered Electrical Contractor and to verify contractor registration and electrical worker licensing before work begins.
Match the contracting business and electrical worker details on the proposal to Energy Safe Victoria public registers, confirm currency and check that the licence class is relevant. Do not rely on a generic licensed-and-insured badge.
An REC is responsible for electrical installation work it is engaged to carry out. The individual who performs or supervises the work holds the relevant worker licence. Production content must identify the verified legal arrangement accurately.
Energy Safe Victoria states that a Certificate of Electrical Safety is required for electrical installation work. The responsible parties must complete the required tests, lodge the certificate and provide the customer copy through the current process.
Some supply, metering, prescribed work and defect matters can involve the electricity distributor or a licensed electrical inspector. The actual notice and work boundary must be reviewed before a provider capability is claimed.
