--- Quote ---New minimum standards apply for electrical safety in Victorian rental properties from March 2023. Renters will have new rights and rental providers will be financially penalised for non-compliance.
What are the new minimum standards?
Minimum standards for safety and liveability apply to all rental properties in Victoria. New standards for electrical safety have recently been defined and will apply legally from March 29, 2023.
After that date, all power outlets and lighting circuits in a rental property must be connected to:
A circuit breaker that complies with AS/NZS 3000 for wiring, and
A residual current device that complies with AS/NZS 3190 or AS/NZS 61008.1 or AS/NZS 61009.1.
Renters have the right to ensure minimum standards are met.
Rental providers who fail to meet minimum standards or carry out upgrades on or before the day on which the renter enters into occupation of the premises will be financially penalised.

Our minimalist KISS installation with RCBOs. Still a couple of ways free so we could theoretically add an EV charger, Solar PV, or heat pump (pick two!)...
(P.S. ...and the old Wylex rewireable fuse one for comparison)

We've got a monster huntsman as big as your hand that hangs out in ours. And good for him.

The exposed tab on the end is to be used as a test point?

Looking at these pictures of Foreign Fuses always surprises me, they often seem to be so ancient.
