Worth knowing: getting two or three quotes is the simplest way to land a fair price — and it costs you nothing.

  • Compliance certificate. A Certificate of Electrical Safety, listed at no extra cost.

  • Licence number. State licence and ABN on the quote, so you can verify them.

  • RCD safety switches. Every circuit RCD-protected, as AS/NZS 3000 requires.

Frequently Asked Questions

Hiring electricians

How much do electricians typically charge?

Do electricians need a licence in Australia?
Yes — electrical work must be carried out by a licensed electrician in every Australian state and territory, and in NSW licensing is through NSW Fair Trading.
