Electrical Contractors

The independent journal for licensed electrical contractors in Australia

Topic hubs

The archive is organised the way a contracting firm thinks: tickets first, then the work, then the books.

Licensing & compliance

State and territory licences, restricted electrical work, Wiring Rules, insurance conditions and the paperwork that keeps a contracting business legal.

Safety & testing

Isolation and lockout, residual current devices, working near live parts, SWMS that get used on the tools, and testing and tagging under AS/NZS 3760.

Residential electrical

Switchboard upgrades, smoke alarms, EV chargers, wet-area renovations and outdoor power for Australian homes.

Commercial & industrial

Small commercial three-phase, lighting and energy standards, data alongside power, industrial maintenance contracts and construction-site supplies.

Solar & renewables

Rooftop PV responsibilities, battery and hybrid systems, remote-area power and the defects inspectors keep finding.

Contracting business

How electrical businesses stay solvent: quoting, apprentices, running a one-van outfit and stocking a modern trade vehicle.
