Service Closure

CCEW.com.au is closing on 1 March 2026

Due to new NSW Government regulations mandating the BCNSW eCert portal for CCEWs, we have no option but to cease operations. Here is everything you need to know about the transition.

The Government Mandate
From 1 March 2026, the Building Commission NSW (BCNSW) is mandating the use of the new eCert portal for all electrical compliance certificates.

PDF CCEW forms, including those generated by CCEW.com.au, will no longer be accepted as valid compliance documents.
Service & Billing
You can continue to use CCEW.com.au normally until 1 March 2026. All features remain active.

Billing will be paused on 1 February 2026. Existing Pro subscribers will retain full access until the closure date at no extra cost.

Why we are shutting down

We built this platform to make your paperwork easier. Unfortunately, the new government mandate and the closed design of the eCert portal make it impossible for us to continue serving you.

No Integration

The eCert portal is a closed system. The government has not provided an API or any method for third-party software to submit data on your behalf.

CCEW PDFs Retired

Our core service is generating compliant PDF forms. Since BCNSW will no longer accept PDFs, the documents we create will cease to be legally valid.

Manual Entry Only

The new system requires electricians to log in and manually enter data for every job. There is no way for us to automate or pre-fill this for you.

Transition Timeline
