西澳大利亚州的电气工程必须由持证专业人员完成,核实执照只需几分钟。电工执照和承包商执照均可通过州监管机构Building and Energy(Building and Energy)提供的公共在线查询系统进行核实。客户应确认执照仍然有效,且姓名一致。未持证施工可能带来安全风险,还可能导致房屋保险公司对理赔提出争议。持证承包商在大多数工程完工后还必须提交竣工通知。
Outdated technology and weak digital safety skills are the biggest threats to national cybersecurity, according to the latest Cyber Threat Report from the Australian Signals Directorate.

Medium-sized businesses reported a 45 per cent rise in cybercrime losses, with an average cost of $141,300.
