Restricted electrical licence system

A restricted electrical work licence authorises the holder to do electrical work linked to or for the purposes of their trade or calling. It is subject to restrictions or conditions as specified on the licence.

A restricted electrical work licence does not authorise the holder of the licence to carry out installation work. Restricted electrical licences apply to specific work area categories. For more information on restricted electrical work licences, read the electrical licensing eligibility guide (PDF, 432KB).

If you wish to apply for a restricted electrical licence, you will need to submit an application for a restricted electrical work licence/permit (other than an apprentice) (PDF, 145KB). An application fee applies.
