The Importance of Hiring a Licensed Cabler

Under Australian law, all telecommunications and network cabling must be installed by an ACMA-registered cabler. The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) regulates the installation and maintenance of communication cabling to ensure safety and compliance with national regulations.

Penalties for Non-Compliance

Engaging unlicensed individuals for cabling work can result in significant legal and financial penalties:

  • Infringement Notices: Individuals performing unauthorised cabling work may receive infringement notices imposing fines. For example, an individual may face 12 penalty units per offence, equating to a fine of $2,040 per offence.

  • Court-Imposed Penalties: If prosecuted and convicted in court, individuals can face higher penalties. Unauthorised cabling work can attract fines of up to 120 penalty units, amounting to $20,400.

  • Equipment Confiscation & Disruption: ACMA has the authority to seize non-compliant equipment and issue directives to cease operations until compliance is met.

Risks of Using Unlicensed Cablers

  • Non-compliant work can result in network failures, electrical hazards, and safety risks.

  • Voided warranties on telecommunications equipment due to improper installation.

  • Legal penalties for non-compliant installations under ACMA regulations.

  • Compromised security in business and home network environments.

It is important to note that not all electricians are licensed communications cablers. Electrical qualifications do not automatically grant permission to install or modify telecommunications cabling. Before engaging any contractor, customers should verify their ACMA registration through the following official databases:
