The guides do not diagnose a fault or price a job. Each one sets out the details worth having before you enquire, what a written scope for that work should cover, and the questions to ask before you agree to the work.
Each guide also links the official Queensland source for its topic: the Electrical Safety Office for electrical work and licences, the Queensland Fire Department for smoke alarms, and the Residential Tenancies Authority for rental repairs.
Across the services, the same few things tend to change the work: the equipment or result you want, the route and access the job needs, who can approve it, and whether patching and finishing are included. If you rent, the guides point you to your property manager or owner and the tenancy repair process first. If you live in a unit, they help you separate a fitting inside your home from anything shared with other lots.
Not sure which service fits? Start with what you have noticed or what you want to change, and use the job checklist to gather the details. Whoever takes the job should be licensed: check the business on the Electrical Safety Office licence search before agreeing to the work.
The guides are not the place to start in an emergency. If someone is in danger from electric shock, fire or a fallen powerline, call 000. If the whole street has lost power, Energex takes outage reports on 13 62 62. The emergency electrician guide covers what to do next.
