150: Membership

You could also call this:

“Who can be part of the Electrical Workers Registration Board and how they are chosen”

The Electrical Workers Registration Board has seven members. Four of these members must be registered or able to be registered under Part 10 of the Act. At least two of these four members need to have current practising licences. The other three members can be anyone, but at least one of them must have qualifications or experience in the electrical industry that the Minister thinks are appropriate.

The Minister is the person who chooses and appoints all the members of the Board. If you’re working as an investigator under Part 11 of the Act, you can’t be a member of the Board at the same time. Apart from this rule, you can be a member of the Board and hold other jobs or positions at the same time.
