Types of work that don’t need a permit
In general if you are an owner-occupier carrying out any electrical
work in your own property you will require a permit. However there
are some common exceptions where the risks and the required levels of
skill are deemed to be sufficiently low as to not require a permit. The
typical exceptions are when changing like-for-like 2-wire to 2-wire
swap, for example when replacing a light switch or a new lighting
fixture. Just about everything else requires a permit.
