Why Pool Safety Inspections Are Essential
Queensland has strict pool safety laws to prevent child drowning. Whether you're buying, selling, or leasing a property with a pool, compliance certificates are mandatory.
Legal Compliance
Meet Queensland's mandatory pool safety requirements. Avoid fines up to $4,000 and protect yourself from liability in case of an accident.
Child Safety
Pool drowning is a leading cause of death for children under 5. A compliant barrier significantly reduces the risk of unsupervised pool access.
Property Value
A current pool compliance certificate is essential for property sales and rentals. Buyers and tenants expect documented pool safety.
Fast Turnaround
Receive your inspection report and compliance certificate quickly — usually within 24-48 hours of the inspection.
When You Need a Pool Inspection
- Selling your property — Required before settlement
- Leasing your property — Mandatory for tenancy agreements
- Buying a property — Verify compliance before purchase
- Regular compliance — Certificate valid for 2 years
- After pool modifications — Any barrier changes require re-certification
