The Electrical Licensing Board has adopted an updated Fit and proper assessment criteria for the issue of licences and permits policy that will come into effect Wednesday 4 December 2024.

The policy requires all new electrician, electrical training, electrical permit or restricted electrical licence applicants to provide an Australian police check with their application. The police check must be no more than three months old and from an accepted provider.

For more information about accepted providers and how to apply for a police check, go to www.demirs.wa.gov.au/licensingpolicechecks  

The requirements do not apply for applications to renew an existing electrical worker's licence.

Applications cannot be processed unless all sections are completed, all attachments provided and fees paid. If your application is incomplete at the time of lodgement it will be returned. If your application is later found to be incomplete or is not fully informative, you will be requested to provide outstanding or additional information. If you do not provide the information by the date stated in the request your application will be returned. The application fee will be retained and the registration fee refunded to you.

The forms on this list are provided in Adobe Portable Document (PDF) format. Acrobat PDF files require the free Acrobat Reader plug-in, which is available from Adobe.

For quicker processing, pay to renew your electrical licence using the department's online renewal system.
