To obtain an Open registration you will need to complete an applicable open training pathway and have six months relevant cabling experience.

Present them to one of the registrars to obtain a new registration.

If your cabling training was done prior to July for example, through Austel examinations , please contact a Registered Training Organisation to undertake a reassessment of your cabling competencies via Recognition of Prior Learning RPL.

If you haven't renewed your registration due to extenuating circumstances, you may send a written request to the ACMA seeking special dispensation. In your correspondence, please provide details of your expired cabling registration and explain why the registration was not renewed when it was due. You will also need to explain how long you have been cabling and what type of cabling work you have performed. The ACMA will assess each request for special dispensation on a case-by-case basis and notify you in writing of the outcome.

If dispensation is granted by the ACMA, you will be permitted to re-register without the need for further training or assessment of your qualifications.

From 1 July it is now mandatory to have completed additional competency training modules in specialist cabling to undertake structured, coaxial and fibre optic work. Failure to attain the additional relevant competencies does not mean that the cabler's registration will lapse. However, a cabler who does not have the structured, optical fibre or co-axial competencies will not be permitted to install or work on that type of cabling.
