Electrical Regulatory Authorities Council

In Australia, technical and safety electrical regulatory functions are largely the responsibility of state and territory governments.

A considerable amount of liaison is therefore required between the eight Australian states and territories and New Zealand to coordinate their activities in respect of regulatory strategies, policies and ongoing reforms.

ERAC is the organisation that works towards this coordination.

The council is made up of representatives of the regulatory authorities responsible for electrical safety, supply and energy efficiency in New Zealand and the Australian states, territories and commonwealth.
