- You've experienced flickering lights, buzzing sounds or unexplained power surges.
- Your switchboard uses old ceramic fuses or lacks modern RCD safety switches.
- You're planning renovations that involve electrical upgrades.
- You manage a rental property or business that requires electrical safety compliance.
- You've recently purchased or moved into a new property and need confirmation the electrical system is safe.

NSW Electrical Safety Regulations - Are You Compliant?
NSW law doesn't set one blanket checklist for every existing property.
Legally required. New electrical work and switchboard upgrades must include RCD safety switches, and every property must have working smoke alarms.
A general duty, not a fixed interval. Owners carry a general legal duty to keep the electrical system safe. There's no NSW law mandating a specific inspection interval for existing homes.
Good practice, not a citation. Modern switchboards with circuit breakers instead of old ceramic fuses, and a periodic safety audit, are sound ways to meet that duty. Neither is a legal must.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I schedule an electrical safety audit?
We recommend a safety audit every 5 years for homes and every 12 months for commercial properties and rental homes.
Are electrical audits mandatory for rental properties?
NSW doesn't currently mandate a periodic electrical safety audit for rental properties. Landlords do have a general legal duty to keep the property's electrical system safe, and a safety audit is a straightforward way to check that duty is met.
Will my electrical system be upgraded during the audit?
The electrician assesses your system's condition, and will recommend upgrade solutions if required.
What happens if my property fails the safety audit?
Your electrician documents every issue found and gives you a clear report with recommended fixes - urgent risks can often be resolved on the same visit.
Do I need an electrical safety audit before selling my property?
It's not a legal requirement, but many buyers and conveyancers ask for one - a clean audit report can help a sale go smoothly.
How long does an electrical safety audit take?
Most residential audits take 1-2 hours; larger commercial properties may take longer depending on the number of circuits and outlets.
