ACT WorkCover PDF on Electrical Appliance Testing & Tagging
http://www.ors.act.gov.au/workcover/pdfs/WorkSafe/InfoSheets/IB0903.pdf (issued Sept 08)

http://www.ors.act.gov.au/workcover/pdfs/WorkSafe/InfoSheets/IB0906.pdf provides for the frequency:

Workcover did an audit of cafes and restaurants in 2006 - http://www.ors.act.gov.au/workcover/pdfs/WorkSafe/Reports/cafe_audit_report.pdf.  Only 30% had their electrical equipment correctly tested and tagged. The others were issued improvement notices.

The New Work Safety Act 2008 was passed into law by the ACT's Legislative Assembly on 28 August 2008, and comes into effect on 1 July 2009. http://www.ors.act.gov.au/workcover/pdfs/WorkSafe/Guides/WorkSafetyActSummary.pdf The new Act extends the definition of ‘worker’ to include a wide variety of different categories, including visitors to the workplace.  This is predicted to have significant impact on child care facilities and aged care facilities.
