What is an Electrical Badge?

In Australia, only authorised electricians can perform electrical wiring work under the Gas & Electricity (Consumer Safety) Act 2017. This includes installing, repairing, altering, removing, or adding to an electrical installation. 

If a Tasker on Airtasker has the Electrical Badge, it means they are an authorised electrician. You can also check if the Tasker is an authorised electrician through the relevant register in your state.

Once you've accepted an offer, you can request the following details from an Electrical Badge holder:

Important Note:

The Badge is granted based on a point-in-time check which means results only reflect relevant records on the date that the check was completed. If you engage an Electrical License Badge holder for tasks involving electrical works, you should verify their current credentials after assigning the task.
