Find a registered cabler

A registered cabler can perform or supervise all communications cabling work in your home or office. They cannot perform or supervise cabling work owned by a telecommunications carrier or NBN.

Make sure the cabler you choose is registered.

Using a registered cabler gives you peace of mind. They understand the Australian standards that keep customers, cablers and the network safe.

Search for a registered cabler

We can’t recommend individual cablers. To find a registered cabler in your state or territory, search the Australian Registered Cablers website.

You’ll also find cablers in the Yellow Pages® directory, listed under:

  • Computer Equipment — Installation and Networking
  • Electrical Contractors
  • Fire Protection Equipment and Consultants
  • Security Systems and/or Consultants
  • Telephones and Systems — Installation and/or Maintenance

Identify a registered cabler

When choosing a cabler, ask to see their proof of registration. If a cabler is registered, they will do the following:

  • Show you their registration card. You can check their registration is current by contacting their registrar.
  • Provide you with a signed written statement certifying that the work complies with the Wiring Rules at the end of a task. Cabler can choose to use the form approved by the ACMA or prepare their own statement as an attachment to an invoice or receipt for the cabling work.
  • Keep copies of certification statements for 12 months, in case the ACMA audits them.

They may give you Cabling Advice Form TCA2 if they see existing cabling that does not meet the standards. This is so you can decide what action to take.

How to check the registrars’ databases

4 registrars manage all cabler registrations on behalf of the ACMA. To check that the cabler has a current registration:

  • look at the first letter of their registration card to see which registrar they used 
  • contact the registrar or search their registration database
