I am applying for South Australia. I have positive assessment form engineers Australia as Telecommunication Engineer. Well there is a question South Australia is asking for assisting authority at South Australia level.
It says
"In many occupations you must be registered with or obtain a license from a local authority in the state or territory where you want to practise your occupation. Contact the local authority in your relevant state/territory to enquire about the licensing or registration requirements."
I googled for the licensing authority at State level but didn't find any for South Australia.
Is there any licensing authority for telecommunication or not? Kindly let me know.

Check for http://www.immi.gov.au web site for more details or Visit the SA website and call the local authorities for more details. given below is the link for contact details of SA.

What does a Telecommunication Engineer do? My husband is an electronic engineer but the industry he works in required him to have a cabler's license (even though he hasn't pulled cable for 15 years) as well as a criminal screening, blue card, etc.

Telecommunications engineering or telecom engineering is a major field within Electronic engineering. The work ranges from basic circuit design to strategic mass developments. A telecommunication engineer is responsible for designing and overseeing the installation of telecommunications equipment and facilities, such as complex electronic switching systems, copper telephone facilities, and fiber optics. Telecom engineering also overlaps heavily with broadcast engineering.

Telecommunication is a diverse field of engineering including electronics, civil, structural, and electrical engineering as well as being a political and social ambassador, a little bit of accounting and a lot of project management. Ultimately, telecom engineers are responsible for providing the method that customers can get telephone and high speed data services.

Telecom engineering and civil engineering? I guess, you could link telecom engineering to english literature as well. Oh yes, all that report writing

Well, then he's probably going to need at the very least a cabler's licence. When the old man gets home I'll ask him what he needed to do to get his. I know he had to do a Peer course as well, but don't know what that was all about. Will report back later.

Ya. English is also required to understand what's written

When you say telecommunication field it don't mean telecommunication Engineer. If there are no Civil Engineers in Telecommunication field who is going to build the towers.

Well, when someone says 'electrical engineer', normally we think of electrical, electronics or telecom engineer... even mechatronic but NOT civil! I will forgive you for saying a civil engineer builds the towers. Technically speaking, it would bbe the structural engineer. However, it's okay for laymen to interchange between the two. Every field is interrelated. Mechanical engineers work in electrical as well as civil fields. However, when you said telecom engineer I was surprised why you didn't mention mechanical engineering as well. Please, include mathematics and physics in your list above * chuckles* Anyway, I know what you are saying... but I doubt you know what I am getting at. Maybe my language skills aren't as good as my engineering skills

You have to make sure what department he is working in or applying for if it is installion of new site (Commissioning Department) then may be he needs this cabler's license for audit purpose. We don't have such requirements in our country may be the cabler's license is requirement of your country to follow the standards.

OK you are right i am wrong and Wikipedia is also wrong try to correct them as well.

Err, I thought the technician did that. What's the point of going to uni and doing a 4 year degree to become a tradesman.

Its not like that. Say you work for an operator company which wants to expand its network so the best way to do the expansion is not by hiring new Engineers to do it for you. The best way to do it is by giving the contract to some sub contractor to build it for you. When the construction is complete the audit engineer (for civil work civil engineer for electrical work electrical engineer etc) will go to the site to check that everything is up to the required quality and will complete the hand over procedure.
This process is very effective in a way if you hire engineers to do it for you, you will have to accept what ever they build good or bad you have to accept that.

even though he hasn't pulled cable for 15 years

My country is Australia. If he wants to work in Australia installing telecommunications equipment he will need a cabler's license.
