Hiring an electrician in Ballarat: what to check

Licence check. In Victoria, as everywhere in Australia, electrical work must be done by a licensed electrician. Ask for their licence number and check it on the VIC licensing regulator’s public register before work starts.
  • Check the tradie holds the licence or registration required in your state for your type of job.
  • Ask for a written quote that lists labour, materials and GST.
  • Get a written contract for larger jobs — many states require one for residential building work over a set value.
  • Ask whether they hold public liability insurance.
  • Check the ABN on the ABN Lookup website.
  • Ask how long the job will take and who will be on site.
