Another odd thing is some appliances such as wall mounted hot water urns are a technicians field as they are a combination of plumbing and electrical that would stymie most sparkies or plumbers.

So if you want to wire up stuff that plugs into a 240v outlet, you can do it.

OK, made a couple of phone calls to sparkie mates to get the inside scoop, here it is -
There is nothing stopping you from wiring something portable up yourself, the legislation gets a little murky on this. BUT.....
You may not use it in a commercial situation without it being tested and tagged by a licensed operator. ALSO...
If anything happens and it can be proved that you, as a unlicensed person, carried out the work, your insurer most likely will void your insurance and if there is any other damages you could be held liable for them too.
So, if you do the work I can't find anything to say definatively that you can or can't, but be prepared for the consequences if anything bad happens as a result!Have a nice day - Cheers

Please add the last bit from my reply not just the bit that makes me sound like an idiot.

BOTTOM LINE - if you have to ask.....
If you have to ask, you obviously don't know what you're doing, whether you're licenced or not or whether you need to be licenced or not, isn't the point.
The point is this: If you have to ask you shouldn't be doing it.....
When you burn down your house, shock yourself into a coma or kill someone remember this......... IT'S YOUR BLOODY FAULT!
If you have to ask and it all goes wrong, prepare yourself for the consequences they will be serious.
.
If you have to ask DON'T!!!
If you have to ask..... ask for the name of a good electrician.
