What is a Safety Switch?
RCDs, or Safety Switches as the general public know them, are designed to immediately switch off the electricity supply if any electrical fault is detected. This helps prevent electric shocks, keeping everyone safe. In Australia, you must have a safety switch installed on every circuit in your property. Unlike regular circuit breakers, which protect against overloading and shorts, safety switches are designed to protect people.
Making sure your safety switches are working as intended is important in preserving life. This minimises the risk of:
- Electricity related fires
- Electric shock
- Injury
- Death

Upgrade and Get Compliance Certification
It is not mandatory to replace Type AC RCDs that were installed, tested and certified before May 1, 2023. However, if you rely on a high use of DC electricity, then you might consider opting to replace your safety switches for better reliability in case of a DC leak. We provide a safety switch compliance (QLD and NSW) certificate after each new upgrade installation to prove your property meets all Australian safety switch standards.
Maintenance and Replacement
We're available for safety switch testing of the RCDs in your property portfolio every 3 or 6 months. We also replace faulty safety switches to keep your properties compliant and safe.
