Authorisations Framework

Do you need to be authorised?

A person will only be authorised to work on or near Endeavour Energy’s electricity network if they are employed by a company that has a legitimate need to employ authorised persons.

Companies must be registered with Endeavour Energy before their employees can be authorised to work on or near the network.

A person will only be required to be authorised with one employer to work on the Endeavour Energy network and may subcontract to other employers performing the same work if they have a compliant authorisation.

This means secondary or additional employers will no longer need to authorise the subcontractor with Endeavour Energy if they can verify the subcontractor's authorisation is already compliant

Authorisation functions

Authorisation functions are developed to provide competency assurance for individuals working on or near the network as having the necessary knowledge and/or skills to perform tasks safely.

The authorisations framework incorporates various functions that define the competency requirements for performing tasks on or near the network.

The authorisations framework additionally hosts specific functions deemed as having a significant impact on network integrity, including functions related to high-risk tasks or those requiring a high level of ongoing competency management.

All relevant processes and information regarding authorisations can be found in the Authorisations Manual.

Non-transfer of authorisations

Authorisations are unique to the authorised person and the company who endorsed their nominating application and are not transferable.

This does not prohibit an alternate employer seeking an authorised person to carry out work on their behalf as long as the individual has been registered with the ASP Scheme for the company.

Contractors to the company will require authorisation under each company they are working for.
