In NSW the wiring between the network pole, the point of attachment, the meter and the main switchboard is Level 2 work, and only an Accredited Service Provider (ASP) accredited by Ausgrid, Endeavour Energy or Essential Energy may do it. A general electrical licence is not enough for a switchboard or meter upgrade that touches the service mains.
