What Is a Level 2 Electrical Defect?
A Level 2 electrical defect is a fault, safety issue, or noncompliance identified on the electrical infrastructure that connects your property to the electricity network. This includes your service mains, overhead or underground connection, private power poles, metering equipment, or the connection point on your property.
Defects are typically identified by:
- Ausgrid inspections or routine network audits
- Property inspections — including pre-purchase electrical inspections
- Visual identification by a licensed electrician or Level 2 ASP
- An incident or fault that triggers a network inspection

Why Act Quickly on a Defect Notice?
Ausgrid defect notices are not suggestions — they are formal notices with legal consequences if ignored. Depending on the severity of the defect, you may have anywhere from 30 days to 12 months to have the work completed. In serious cases involving immediate safety risks, the timeframe can be much shorter.
Beyond the compliance deadline, defects on service mains and private poles represent real safety risks — to you, your family, and anyone on your property. Getting them rectified promptly is just common sense.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about defect notices and rectification.
I've received a defect notice from Ausgrid — what do I do?
Call NewSpark as soon as possible on 0474 915 389. Have your defect notice with you — the document will include a reference number, description of the defect, and the deadline for rectification. We'll assess the job and get a quote to you quickly.
Can any electrician fix a Level 2 defect?
No. Level 2 defect rectification involves work on service mains, poles and connection infrastructure that interfaces with the electricity network. This can only be carried out by a licensed Level 2 ASP. A standard electrician is not licensed to do this work.
How long do I have to fix a defect once I receive the notice?
The timeframe depends on the nature and severity of the defect. Ausgrid typically allows between 30 days and 12 months depending on the risk level. Your defect notice will specify the deadline. Contact us as soon as you receive it so we can make sure you meet the timeframe.
What happens if I don't fix the defect in time?
If a defect is not rectified within the required timeframe, Ausgrid has the authority to disconnect your power supply. They will not do this without warning, but the consequences are real. Getting the work done promptly avoids this situation entirely.
How much does Level 2 defect rectification cost?
The cost depends on the type and scope of the defect. We provide free, no-obligation quotes after reviewing your notice and, where required, carrying out a site inspection. Call us or send through your defect notice and we'll get back to you promptly.
Do you manage the paperwork with Ausgrid?
Yes. As a licensed Level 2 ASP, we handle all required Ausgrid notifications and manage the sign-off process as part of our defect rectification service. You don't need to deal with Ausgrid directly.
