🚨 Important Announcement 🚨
We've issued an Extraordinary Gazette (preventative measure) to ban the sale and use of room heaters with integral pins that plug into socket outlets.

Why? Because these devices pose serious electrical risks, putting pressure on both the pins and socket outlets.
Even though we changed the standard in December 2023, it has come to our attention that some of these hazardous products have still made it to Australian online marketplaces.

We're reaching out to online platforms to remove these products from sale immediately. Plus, we're working closely with our partner agencies and networks to spread the word far and wide.

Please remember to always purchase electrical items displaying the regulatory compliance mark (RCM). Australians should always exercise caution when buying electrical appliances online that might not meet Australian Safety standards.

Got an electric scooter or bike for Christmas or to commute to school or work this year? Here are some tips to keep them electrically safe.

🔋 Use the charger specified by the scooter or bike manufacturer and always buy from a reputable, Australian seller

🔋 Let batteries cool down before re-charging – high temperatures can shorten their lifespan and increase the risk of fire

🔋 Ensure your batteries aren’t getting knocked around or damaged when in use or in storage – this can increase the risk of fire

🔋 Always charge your scooter or bike away from combustible materials like paper, clothes, furniture and curtains

🔋 Always unplug your charger once your scooter or bike has finished charging

🔋 Don’t leave charging batteries unattended or charging overnight

🔋Install interconnected smoke alarms where your scooter or bike is charged

If you have lost power and are using a generator at your business, workplace or home please read the below information to ensure you are using it safely and with as little risk as possible. Remember, it is extremely dangerous and illegal to connect a generator to your home using a power point on a power circuit or any other connection point.
⚠️ Portable generators should only be used to power essential equipment, such as fridges.
⚠️ Only connect your generator to your house if you have had an electrical contractor fit a proper generator change-over switch with the appropriate generator socket.
⚠️Do not connect your generator to your house using a power point on a power circuit or any other connection point. This is illegal and dangerous. This could energise the powerlines and cause an electric shock to anyone coming into contact with them.
⚠️ Also, plugging the generator into your house circuit could cause the generator to fail and cause a fire, or damage the generator and circuits.
⚠️ Ensure all leads used to connect your generator are in good working condition, i.e. no damage to plugs or lead and no exposed wires.
⚠️ Only use power boards that are protected by an overload cut out.
⚠️ Place leads and power boards so they will not be affected by mechanical damage (e.g. stepped on, tripping, etc), flooding, or fire (e.g. coiled leads, overload).
⚠️ Be aware of risks including electrocution and poisoning/suffocation from carbon monoxide exhaust gases.
⚠️ Always run the generator outdoors or in a well ventilated area, don’t exceed the generator’s load rating and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
