3. Check Add New RA, then:
   1. New worker: enter their details, select classes and upload identification and qualifications.

After accreditation, the accredited entity or ASP and their individual workers must be authorised by the DNSP(s) where they will work. 

Authorisation criteria include role‑specific training, competency evidence and compliance with each DNSP’s safety rules and standards.

Important: DNSP authorisation is separate from NSW accreditation and typically must be maintained and renewed, for example through annual refresher training. 

You can seek to upgrade your accreditation (for example, Level 1 grading), regrade, or add classes (for example, Level 1 classes 1A, 1B, 1C or 1X). These requests must be submitted through the ASP Platform. Evidence is assessed against Scheme rules and criteria.

Renewal requires updating evidence (e.g. capability and insurance) and paying the relevant fee within the accreditation period. Public and Products Liability insurance must have “The Electricity Distributors of NSW” listed as an Interested Party.

Ensure all registered workers keep their DNSP authorisations current, as many roles require annual refresher training.

Under the Scheme rules, ASP performance is monitored and action can include suspension or cancellation for non-compliance, safety breaches or construction defects. The rules also outline appeal rights. See the Scheme documentation for definitions, such as safety breach and construction defect, and related procedures.

Update your company details in the ASP Platform if your information changes (e.g. company name, contacts or insurance).
