The Australian Cabler Registration Service (ACRS) provides fast, reliable and low-cost registration service for the electrical and communications industry. ACRS is a totally owned subsidiary of the National Electrical and Communications Association (NECA), which represents the electrical and telecommunications contractors across Australia. The Australian Communications and Media Authority requires technicians to have a current cabling registration when they install any type of equipment that will be connected to the telecommunications network – monitored security alarms, access control systems, closed circuit TV, extra phone lines, internet connected computers, building automation or smart home systems.
