Jobseeker: Jobseeker means an electrician, electrical apprentice or electrical worker looking for work, whether as an individual or as an employee of a company looking to be sub-contracted out.
Labour Hire Licensing Legislation
In Victoria and in some other States such as Queensland within Australia there is a Labour Licensing legislation introduced which lays specific conditions under which staff / labour can be sub-contracted out.
Each employer must takes its own advice as to whether this legislation applies to them.
electricianXchange takes no responsibility in relation to this, given it is merely the introduction platform through which a willing employer and a willing jobseeker come together for the purposes of working together.
Reference checks undertaken
Every jobseeker whether as an individual or as an employee being sub-contracted out by an employer, and whether in a permanent, sub-contract, casual or part time capacity agree to have reference checks completed before employment commences.
By agreeing to these Terms & Conditions, the jobseeker of every variation as outlined above, gives permission to electricianXchange and its staff or those instructed by electricianXchange's staff to undertake the reference checks on the jobseeker's behalf and to contact the referees listed within the jobseeker's account profile to conduct the reference checks. The questions posed by the reference checkers can be located here and you agree to this reference checking as an integral part of the electricianXchange process.
Employers must ask electricianXchange to initiate the reference checking process. As electricianxchange is an introductory platform, the employer & the jobseeker after introduction may decide not to go ahead (upon which a credit note on request is issued). This is the reason why reference checks are not automatically initiated & will need to be requested by the employer to electricianXchange. For our credit note policy, please see our Costs & Guarantees section.
General
We derive our information from individuals or employers who register on our site.
While we will take all care; responsibility rests with the individuals or the employer registering and posting the information at all times. This includes information about the work availability posts made on the website, the replies made back and forth between the employer and the jobseeker plus all other information entered into the website by either the jobseeker or the employer. electricianXchange is acting merely as the introduction platform through which these two stakeholders, the employer and the jobseeker come together, with the specific terms and conditions of hire determined seperately and independantly between the employer and the jobseeker after the introduction by electricianXchange has been made.
In using the web site, you warrant that the content, material or information that you post or upload to the website will not be fraudulent, defamatory and will not infringe the intellectual property rights, confidentiality rights, or privacy rights of any person or any applicable law.
Where the content, material or information on this website or any linked website contains opinions or judgments of third parties, we do not purport to endorse the contents of that opinion or advice, nor the accuracy or reliability of that opinion or advice.
electricianXchange will after the introduction of the two stakeholders (employer and jobseeker) provide a set of reference checks as a starting point, not as a final determination of quality of either party. electricianXchange cannot be held responsible for the reference checks done with the employer and the jobseeker being responsible for their own independant checks, before commencing work together.
Termination of Access
Access to this Website to either the employer or the jobseeker may be terminated at any time by us without notice if the terms & conditions or the philosophy this site has been put together for, is not followed.
Privacy
electricianXchange has a strong privacy policy relating to all information that you provide through this web site and we will take all reasonable steps to prevent any data being inappropriately released or misused. Please see our Privacy Policy listed separately and which forms a part of these terms and conditions.
Changes to Terms and Conditions
We may change these terms and conditions at any time. Each time you use the Service you are agreeing to the terms and conditions applicable at that time. We provide a link to these Terms and Conditions at the bottom of every page of the website. You agree to the terms and conditions as applicable at any time.
Jurisdiction
The laws of Australia apply to these Terms and Conditions. Any dispute with electricianXchange arising in relation to these Terms and Conditions will be resolved in accordance with Australian law with the jurisdiction of New South Wales prevailing.
Fraudulent Activity
From time to time, despite our best intentions and processes, illegitimate claims of being a qualified electrician, apprentice or REC / Employer may be entered by either of these parties. While electricianXchange will do everything it can, to provide a platform which allows work related connectivity between employer & jobseeker, it cannot totally eliminate the possibility that despite the best intent, will not happen.
electricianXchange will endeavour to ensure that all information is accurate and that is why we have a reference checking component after introductions are made. However, we cannot completely eliminate this risk.
Hence after introductions by electricianXchange, it is your responsibility to undertake your own reference & other checks formulating a written, defined labour / employment agreement between both parties - employer & jobseeker.
Should after the introduction fee being paid and our reference checks completed, you find within 48 hours of the person starting work, information which would cause you to change your mind regarding working with each other, you are entitled to ask electricianXchange for a Credit Note for the fee paid to electricianXchange as an employer, which you can then use for a subsequent search by you through electricianXchange. For 1st year apprentices (given few technical skills to assess on) we will extend the credit note policy for up to 4 weeks after the individual starts work. To review our Costs & Guarantees section in more details please click here.
You can do this via your account directly or call us on 1300 353 364 and we can guide you on how to request for it.
Besides this credit note issued to be able to select someone else, you agree that electricianXchange is not liable for any other payment or damages.
Fees charged by electricianXchange
There is an introduction fee charged to the employer.
There is no fee charged to the jobseeker.
The fee charged to the employer is a flat fee which is listed on the website and which may change from time to time.

Refund Policy
Should, despite our best efforts including the reference check, you are not satisfied with the introduction made, electricianXchange will provide a credit note for the full amount paid to the fee paying employer.
This however will be only valid should it be within 48 hours after the jobseeker commences work.
For 1st year apprentices, given few skills to asses them on, electricianXchange will extend the credit note availability for up to 4 weeks after the individual starts work.
