How to find your electrician
Three steps from search to a booked job.
Pick your state or territory
Start with New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria or Western Australia if you already know your local area, then narrow it to your city page to see shorter, more relevant lists.
Check the licence and scope
Level 2 work sits between the network and your switchboard, covering new connections, meter relocation, consumer mains and defect notices. Confirm the business lists the same suburb you live in, because those crews already work with your local network provider.
Call for a quote or site visit
Ring or message two or three nearby businesses with your address and a short description of the job. Most Level 2 crews will ask for a photo of the switchboard before quoting, which speeds the whole process up.

What a Level 2 electrician actually does
A Level 2 electrician in Australia is accredited to work on the network side of the point of supply. That covers the consumer mains, the meter panel, the main switchboard and any connection to the street, plus private pole replacement, overhead service lines, external metering and the defect notices your network provider issues when something fails inspection. A standard electrical licence does not cover this work, so a bathroom or power point job will usually go to a different tradesperson.
This distinction matters most when you buy or sell a property, add a granny flat or secondary dwelling, upgrade to a three-phase supply or need a smart meter installed. Distribution networks such as Ausgrid, Energex, Endeavour Energy, Powercor, Western Power and SA Power Networks all have their own paperwork, and the electrician has to be authorised with the right one for your address before submitting anything. Getting it wrong means refusals, wasted inspection fees and delays of weeks.
Use the state pages to narrow the list to your city, then compare a handful of businesses in your postcode. Ask about accreditation, network approvals, inspection booking and the charge to issue a Certificate of Electrical Safety. A clear price, a fixed call-out fee and a straight answer on lead times tell you more than a glossy website ever will.
Level 2 questions, answered
What counts as Level 2 electrical work?
Any work on the network side of your point of supply: consumer mains, metering, the main switchboard, private poles and overhead service lines. It also covers new connections to the grid, supply upgrades from single phase to three phase and fixing defect notices raised by your network provider. If the job touches wiring beyond the switchboard only, a standard electrician can handle it.
Do I need a Level 2 electrician to replace my meter?
In most cases, yes. Meter replacement for a smart meter rollout, a switchboard upgrade or a change of tariff usually requires someone accredited with your distribution network. In some states and for certain small jobs the retailer arranges the swap, but the wiring on your side of the meter still needs a Level 2 ticket.
How much does Level 2 work cost?
Consumer mains replacements typically run from around a thousand dollars for a straightforward single-storey property, while new connections, defect repairs and private pole replacements cost more because they include trenching and network approvals. Final pricing depends on cable length, meter position and inspection requirements, so compare quotes from at least two local businesses.
How do I compare electricians listed in this directory?
Check that the business actually service your suburb rather than only operating in the next city. Confirm the accreditation level, which network they are authorised with, whether they handle the paperwork with your provider and if they supply a Certificate of Electrical Safety. Ask about inspection booking, call-out fees and warranty on the work itself.
Can I do the paperwork myself to save money?
No. Connection applications, notification of work and defect repairs on the network side must be lodged by an accredited Level 2 electrician. Your network provider will not process an application submitted by a homeowner or a general handyman, and unapproved work can hold up a property settlement or an insurance claim.
