Standard technique, I think. Temporarily tack a bit wood through the
hole to the back, secure and infill.

Same here.

CJR ELECTRICAL 95% dont know how to fix this!!

I'd be more inclined to use PVA than screws to hold the backing: put a
bit of string through the middle, then loop that around a baton on the
front to hold it until the PVA has set. Or you can just add flanges on
two or more sides rather than filling the whole hole with backing -
those can be held in place with spring clamps until the PVA has set.

You are going to need filler somewhere along the line, so having screw
holes to fill does not seem to be much of an issue (so long as you have
some proper drywall screws). Saves waiting about for glue to dry.

Indeed.
Also wont there be screws holding the new plasterboard section to
the "backings"/supports anyway?

If its being skimmed (and the screws are the correct black
phosphate? plasterboard ones) what's a few more screw heads to
cover?

PVA can be a problem particularly if dust has accumulated on the backside of a ceiling, the screw method is guaranteed success and you don't have to wait for it to set.
