As an electrician I received this in my in-box today:
Electrical Worker registration and licensing is changing from 1 September
Tēnā koe Hayley
A new Registration framework for Electrical Workers will take effect on 1 September 2024. As an Electrical Worker, you need to be aware of these changes and what they mean for you.
The new stepped framework will better outline Registration and Licensing requirements for Electrical Workers. The framework also introduces new classes of Registration and competency requirements.
We have pulled together a summary of these changes for you on our website, and outlined any next steps you may need to take for your registration.
There are a few things you can do to ensure you are prepared for the upcoming changes to the Electrical Worker framework, including keeping a record of your experience and training and ensuring you are aware of the changes to the limits of work for your registration class.
As of September 2024, we will no longer issue plastic ID cards for Electrical Workers. When registering or renewing from September you will be able to download your digital licence showing your photo and classes of registration.
If you have a plastic ID card, you can continue using this as long as your licence remains active and the card displays your current Registration classes.
When available, your new digital license will be available to be downloaded from the Electrical Worker portal.
The Electron newsletter keeps you up to date with the latest regulatory changes, exam reports, technical issues, consultation results and other issues affecting Electrical Workers. We will continue to communicate core changes to registration in the coming emails.
