Electrical licensing

On 1 July 2024 the Electrical Safety Act 2022 and Electrical Safety Regulations 2024 commenced in the Northern Territory. One of the changes under the new electrical laws is the abolishment of the Electrical Workers and Contractors Licensing Board, with the responsibility for licensing transferred to the Electrical Safety Regulator within NT WorkSafe.

The new laws Introduce new licence classes and endorsements to improve consistency with other jurisdictions. Current electrical licences remain valid until they expire.

All applications to apply, renew or amend a licence must be made on an NT WorkSafe approved form. Old Electrical Workers and Contractors Licensing Board licensing forms will not to accepted from 1 July 2024.
