Applications for electrical contractor licensing
Requirement to hold a licence
In Western Australia, the Electricity (Licensing) Regulations 1991 provide that electrical contracting work may only be carried out by persons with the appropriate electrical licence, as issued by the Electrical Licensing Board.
Regulation 36 provides for the issue of an electrical contractor's licence to a sole trader (your own name), a firm (partnership), or a body corporate (Australia private company, Australian public company, other incorporated entity or other unincorporated).
Note: The regulations do not provide for the issue of a licence to a trust.
