Build an Electrical Business That Runs Without YouYou did your time to get licensed. Nobody taught you how to price, hire and get paid.

Yes. Your electrician's licence lets you do the work; contracting for it is a separate authorisation, and every state runs its own. Queensland goes through the Electrical Safety Office, New South Wales through Fair Trading, Victoria registers you as an REC with Energy Safe Victoria, Western Australia through Building and Energy, South Australia through Consumer and Business Services. TSA helps you build the business behind the licence.

Generally yes, through mutual recognition. The East Coast Electricians Scheme covers movement between the eastern states, and the Electrical Regulatory Authorities Council publishes how licensing works across jurisdictions and New Zealand. New Zealand registration runs through the Electrical Workers Registration Board via the TTMRA pathway. Sort the pricing and the crew before you chase work across a border. That planning is what TSA coaching is for.

You write the price down. Most electrical businesses carry the rate card in the owner's head, so every quote waits on one person. Build a price book for your repeat work, switchboard upgrades, safety switch installs, fault finding, test and tag, then train an estimator against it. The pricing training and templates inside the Learning Hub give you the structure.

It is worth it when it changes what you charge, who you hire and how the work runs without you.
