In een poging om er achter te komen hoe het nu zit met een licence om als electricien aan het werk te mogen in Australie heb ik een mailtje gestuurd naar een organisatie in South Australia.
Dit Is hun antwoord, wellicht hebben anderen hier ook wat aan, ik ben benieuwd.

Electricians design, assemble, install, test, commission, diagnose, maintain and repair electrical networks, circuits, equipment, components, appliances and facilities for industrial, commercial and domestic purposes, and service and repair lifts, escalators and related equipment.
Education and Training
To become an electrician you usually have to complete an apprenticeship in Electrotechnology Systems Electrician or Engineering - Electrical/Electronic Trade. Training is usually both on and off the job. The off-the-job training is provided through Registered Training Organisations.
Do you need a licence?
Yes, in South Australia under the Plumbers, Gas Fitters and Electricians Act 1995 all individuals, partnerships and companies that perform any electrical works are required to hold a licence. An Electrical Workers Registration is issued by the Office of Consumer and Business Affairs (OCBA).
What do you require to be self-employed or to be a contractor?
If you intend to operate a business as an individual or in a partnership you will need to hold an Electrical Contractor’s License and meet all licensing requirements.
