Why Pool Safety Inspections Matter

Under Queensland law, all pool owners must ensure their pool barriers and gates meet current safety standards.
If you’re selling, leasing, or managing a property, a valid Pool Safety Certificate is mandatory.

A professional pool safety inspection helps you:

  • Meet Queensland Building & Construction Commission (QBCC) requirements

  • Avoid fines for non-compliance

  • Protect your family, tenants, and visitors

  • Gain peace of mind knowing your pool is safe and certified

🧭 Our Pool Safety Inspection Process

  • On-Site Assessment
     Your inspector checks all safety barriers, gates, fences, and latches for compliance with Queensland pool safety standards.

  • Measure & Verify
     We confirm correct fence heights, gaps, and distances from climbable objects.

  • Compliance Report
     You’ll receive a detailed written report outlining any issues found.

  • Form 23 Certificate Issued
     If your pool is compliant, we issue your Form 23 Pool Safety Certificate immediately.

  • Non-Compliance Support
     If upgrades or repairs are required, we’ll clearly explain what’s needed, and our qualified team can often complete minor repairs in-house to save you time and money.
