What to put on an electrician's invoice

Your business name and ABN. If you're registered for GST, title it “Tax invoice”; if not, “Invoice”.
Your electrical contractor licence number. Licensing rules are set by each state and mostly cover advertising and contracts. Queensland, for example, requires your electrical contractor licence number wherever you advertise, and NSW home building contracts must show the licence number. Putting it on your invoices too is good practice: customers and builders can check it, and it matches your other paperwork.
Itemised labour and materials. Separate the call-out fee, hours of labour and materials so the customer can see what they're paying for. It also makes disputes and warranty claims easier.
The certificate of compliance number for work that needs one, so the invoice and the certificate match.
The job address if it's different from the customer's billing address.

Working for builders: TPAR

Businesses in building and construction that pay contractors must report those payments to the ATO each year in a Taxable payments annual report (TPAR), due 28 August. If you subcontract to a builder, your invoices are part of their records, so an accurate ABN, business name and GST on every invoice saves both of you trouble.

Pricing tips for electrical invoices

Show after-hours or emergency rates as their own line so they're not a surprise.
Describe materials specifically (“3 × RCBO 20A”, not “parts”).
Quantities can be decimals: 2.5 hours is fine.

Questions

Do electricians have to put their licence number on invoices?

Rules differ by state and mostly apply to advertising and contracts (for example, Queensland requires your electrical contractor licence number in advertising). Check your state regulator. Including it on invoices is good practice either way.

Should I charge GST on materials?

If you're registered for GST, materials you supply as part of the job are generally taxable like the labour. Mark anything GST-free separately.

Can I use this if I'm not registered for GST?

Yes. Download the no-GST version: it's titled “Invoice” and doesn't add GST.
