I own a rental property - Do I have to get an Electrical safety check?

​Electrical safety check

Rental providers must ensure an electrical safety check of all electrical switchboards, wiring and fittings in the premises is conducted every two years by a licensed electrician.
If requested, they must also provide the renter with the date of the most recent safety check, in writing.
The safety check must be conducted in accordance with section 4 of AS/NZS 3019:2022 “Electrical installations—Periodic assessment”.
If an electrical safety check has not been conducted within the last two years at the time the renter occupies the premises, the rental provider must arrange an electrical safety check as soon as practicable.
If the safety check shows electrical repairs are needed to make the property safe, the rental provider should engage a registered electrical contractor (REC) or a licensed electrician employed by a REC to do the repair work.
