This is a trusted network of SEC-endorsed installation businesses delivering household electrification services across Victoria. These businesses are connected with consumers through the one-stop-shop launching in 2026.

Becoming SEC-endorsed gives your installation business access to a growing pipeline of consumers seeking trusted installation service providers. You’ll help Victorians electrify their homes to drive down costs and emissions while benefiting from increased visibility and business opportunities.

As an SEC-endorsed installation business, you’ll gain access to high-quality leads through households using the ‘one-stop-shop’ when launched. You’ll also be part of a SEC-endorsed network  of installation businesses that values quality, safety, and customer service.

SEC welcomes applications from licensed and accredited installation businesses with experience in:

• solar PV and battery systems
• heat pump hot water systems
• heating and cooling
• induction cooktops and other electric appliances.

You must be fully accredited and licensed to sell, deliver, install, maintain, and provide customer support for the relevant technologies. You will maintain compliance with all relevant Australian laws and standards, local/state regulations, and program requirements. Also, you must uphold the integrity and reputation of the SEC brand.

Installers must demonstrate criteria including:

• proven service quality and customer experience
• commitment to safety and compliance
• financial capability and business stability
• environmental, social, and community values.

The EOI process includes three stages:

1. Initial application where you’ll submit business details and demonstrate compliance.
2. Shortlisted applicants provide more information and meet for an interview.
3. Successful applicants will sign a contract with the SEC and be onboarded to the network of SEC-endorsed installation businesses.

SEC-endorsed installation businesses will be listed on the SEC’s installation businesses marketplace on the ‘one-stop-shop’ when it is launched.

There is no fee to submit an EOI or be assessed. If selected, you’ll enter a contract with the SEC outlining expectations, obligations, and any terms required to participate in the installation businesses marketplace.

That’s okay. If your application isn’t successful right away, the SEC may offer support or recommend training to help you meet the criteria in future rounds.

The SEC is actively seeking eligible businesses operating across Victoria, including regional areas. Local businesses are encouraged to apply and may be supported through upskilling or partnerships with larger providers.

Your business must operate within Victoria. Priority will be given to businesses servicing the initial rollout regions: Metropolitan Melbourne, Gippsland, Southern Loddon Mallee, and Eastern Hume.

Installations will take place in households across Victoria, starting with the initial rollout regions of Metropolitan Melbourne, Gippsland, and Sothern Loddon Mallee and Eastern Hume. Businesses with strong regional coverage are encouraged to apply.

Work volumes will vary based on your location, capacity, and consumer  demand. The SEC will prioritise areas with strong installer coverage and support household interest through local education and engagement campaigns.

Businesses are being reviewed and shortlisted on a rolling basis. Once you submit your EOI, the SEC will be in touch with next steps if your application progresses. Please note that our decision is final.

To enable industry uplift and support in skill gaps, unsuccessful applicants may be offered feedback on areas for improvement, access to upskilling programs, and future opportunities to reapply.

It starts with a short online EOI form. You’ll then be asked to provide documentation like licences, accreditations, and insurance. You’ll only need to provide documents relevant to the technologies you’re involved in. There will also be an interview and background checks before onboarding.

The EOI process includes three stages:

1. Initial application where you’ll submit business details and demonstrate compliance.
2. Shortlisted applicants provide more information and meet for an interview.
3. Successful applicants will sign a contract with the SEC and be onboarded to the network of SEC-endorsed installation businesses.
