111: Effect of suspension

You could also call this:

“What happens when your electrical work permission is put on hold”

When your registration is suspended, you are not considered a registered person for that type of registration during the suspension period. If you have a practising licence for that registration, it is also suspended at the same time.

If your practising licence is suspended, you are not considered to have a current practising licence for that type of registration during the suspension. You are not allowed to do work or help with work under that licence while it is suspended.

If you have a provisional licence and it gets suspended, you are not considered a provisional licence holder during the suspension. You are not allowed to do work or help with work under that licence while it is suspended.

When the suspension period ends, your registration, practising licence, or provisional licence becomes active again right away, unless there is another reason to keep it suspended or cancel it.

Even when your registration or practising licence is suspended, the Registrar can still include information about you in the register. The same applies for provisional licence holders.
