I support a national licence
The Electrical workers have been campaigning for a National Electrical Licence since 1921. Now, after 104 years, a genuine pathway to achieving this goal is finally emerging.
Australia needs a NATIONAL ELECTRICAL LICENCE with the highest safety standards.

why do we need a
national licence?
We’re building more homes and more critical infrastructure than ever before but our outdated, inconsistent electrical licensing system is holding back the very sparkies who power it.
Right now, a fully qualified electrician in one state can be blocked from working in another. That means stalled projects, higher costs, workforce shortages, and unnecessary safety risks for communities. This isn’t just red tape. It’s a barrier to progress.
THE SOLUTION
Australia has some of the best electrical workers and highest safety standards in the world. A national licence must reflect that reality.

Our non-negotiables:
1:
A national licence for all electricians that reflects Australia’s world-leading standards.
2:
A licensing scheme developed collaboratively by unions, industry and government.
3:
A system that sets – and maintains – the global standard for electrical safety and quality
