Receiving an official electrical defect notice can be alarming, but it is a necessary and critical notification that requires your immediate attention. It means that an authorised inspector, your electricity provider [such as Energex], or another authority has identified a potentially dangerous electrical fault at your property that does not comply with current safety standards.
Fallon Solutions is ready to resolve these notices quickly and efficiently with our fully licensed and experienced electricians. We understand the urgency and technical requirements needed to bring your property back to full compliance, ensuring the safety of your home or business.

What is an Electrical Defect Notice?
An electrical defect notice, sometimes called a Form 17 in Queensland, is a legal document issued to a property owner when an electrical installation is found to be unsafe or non-compliant with the Electrical Safety Act 2002 and Australian Standards. You might receive a notice for a variety of reasons, often discovered during:
- A routine inspection
- Work being carried out by another trade
- An emergency callout
- A property sale inspection
- A network connection or alteration by your electricity distributor
It is crucial that you do not ignore this notice. Failure to rectify the identified defects within the specified timeframe can lead to fines or, most critically, the disconnection of your power supply to prevent the risk of fire or electric shock.

Why Have I Received an Electrical Defect Notice?
There are a range of reasons why you may receive an electrical defect notice. Our electricians are equipped to handle all types of electrical defects, including the most common issues:
- No Safety Switch (RCD): Modern safety standards require safety switches on all power and lighting circuits to protect against electrical shock. It’s common that older homes are non compliant.
- Outdated or Unsafe Switchboard: Old, overloaded, or damaged switchboards (especially those with ceramic fuses) are a significant fire hazard.
- Faulty or Deteriorated Wiring: Over time, wiring can become brittle, damaged or unsafe – causing significant risk.
- Improperly Earthed Systems: Correct earthing is essential for safety, preventing electric shock and allowing safety devices to function properly.
- Illegal or Unlicensed Electrical Work: DIY or unlicensed electrical work is dangerous and illegal. An inspector will defect this work immediately.
- Exposed Live Parts: Uncovered terminals, broken power points, or exposed wiring are a large shock hazard.
