Not sure about your trade, but in the electrical game, Western Australia is one of, if not the highest standard in the world. They refuse to accept licenses from other countries (ask the poms, they love hearing that when they land and ask for a job....haha), make them redo tests to prove compentency, and i dont think they even accept licenses from other states.

Yet, however tight and stringent these laws and compentencies are, i still see some really retarded electricians. One, a 4th year, thought he'd be a smart arse and charge a 50uf capacitor in a 240v powerpoint to discharge it on a piece of metal near the younger apprentice. So, it exploded and left him with a nice black face.
