Outdated switchboards on side of timber walls can become a fire risk and really need to be replaced, under AS3000/2007 requirements these switchboards would be replaced with a metallic enclosure and have safety switch and overoad protection on most final circuits, this would alleviate the need for an emergency callout from an electrician to replace fuse wire or replace a burnt out fuse wedge or carrier.
Upon replacement of the switchboard there will be a electrical test carried out on the whole installation, which would ensure electrical safety in your home as the assumption is made that if the light or powerpoint works it must be right but in many cases this is far from the truth. Don't risk your or others life and have the installation checked particulary if recently purchased.
