Deal with the danger before the repair
Keep everyone away from exposed or damaged electrical equipment. Never touch a person who is getting an electric shock. For fire, serious injury or a person receiving a shock, call Triple Zero (000). This website cannot send anyone to an emergency, so do not wait for a reply to a form.

A shock or tingle needs prompt safety attention
A shock or tingle from a tap, a metal fitting or an appliance is a safety problem. The Queensland Electrical Safety Office says to contact your electricity distributor straight away. Its shocks and tingles guide explains the difference between making the property safe and the repair that may come later. Stay clear of the area while help is on the way.
Electrical Safety Office shocks and tingles guidance lists the distributor contact routes. Energex incidents and emergencies covers its network safety response.
Power loss without an obvious immediate hazard
If the whole street has lost power, it may be a network outage. If only your home is affected, you may need fault finding. Check the distributor's outage information for a supply problem. If a switch keeps tripping, stop resetting it and book a licensed electrician. Tell them which areas lost power and what was running. That helps them plan their checks, but nobody can find the cause from a distance.
Arrange the follow-up work clearly
Once the danger has passed, ask a licensed electrician to explain what they found, your repair options and whether the affected equipment is safe to use. Confirm availability and any call-out charge before the visit. Keep the safety work separate from any later request for new outlets, a new fan or a switchboard (the panel with your main switch and circuit breakers) upgrade.
An emergency safety response and a repair quote have different jobs
Emergency services and the electricity distributor deal with the incident and any risk from the supply network. Repairs inside your home may still need a licensed electrical contractor afterwards. Ask what has been switched off and what work is still needed. Getting some power back does not mean every circuit is ready to use. If testing finds a damaged fitting, a protection problem or a board defect, ask for that finding in writing. You can then treat any planned upgrade as a separate decision.
Safety and next steps
Call Triple Zero (000) for fire, serious injury or a person receiving an electric shock. Contact the electricity distributor straight away for a shock or tingle from taps or metal fittings. The enquiry form is only for follow-up work that can be arranged safely.
