New skills maintenance test ID requirement

Changes to the online skills maintenance test for electrical workers renewing their licence take effect from Tuesday 29 November.

As well as an easier to navigate layout, the test now includes a requirement for licence holders to verify their identity through myGovID before taking the assessment.

Download the myGovID app to your mobile device and complete the standard identity strength requirements, which include linking at least two Australian identity documents (e.g. your drivers licence and Medicare card).

The email address used to register for myGovID will need to be the same email associated with your electrical licence record to access the skill maintenance test. If you need to confirm these details, contact us on 1300 632 993.

Once you have your myGovID set up:

• log into the new skills maintenance platform
• identify yourself
• complete the assessment.

Your results will still automatically link to your licence details so you can apply for your licence renewal.
