Registration and licensing of electrical workers and employer licences - Register of electrical workers

130: Duty to notify change of address

You could also call this:

“Let the Registrar know if you move house within 3 months”

If you have a practising licence, a provisional licence, or an employer licence for electrical work, you need to tell the Registrar if you move to a new address. You have three months to do this after you move. The Registrar will then update your new address in the official records.

It’s important to remember to do this. If you don’t tell the Registrar about your new address within three months, you’re breaking the law. You could be fined up to $500 if you’re found guilty of not updating your address.
