Mostly False Victoria Australia

In Victoria, Australia, people are not allowed to change the light bulb themselves and must contact an electrician.

Infact verdict: Mostly False (22/100).

The claim that people in Victoria, Australia, are not allowed to change a light bulb themselves is incorrect. Evidence from multiple sources indicates that while complex electrical work requires a licensed electrician, changing a standard light bulb does not. This task is generally permitted for individuals to perform without professional assistance. The claim is therefore false.
