Smoke Alarm Compliance Certificate for Queensland Homeowners
What's changing?
Queensland mandates the use of photoelectric smoke alarms, which detect smouldering fires more quickly than other types for all homes sold or leased after Jan 2022.
Alarms must be installed on every level of the home, inside each bedroom, and along main escape routes. They must also all be interconnected by wiring or wireless, so that when one activates, they all do.
Owner occupiers don't need to meet this until 2027, but we and many other members in the community recommended getting this upgrade.
This is because, this is about more than complying with legislative requirements. This is about making use of the latest recommendations from experts and stakeholders in the community to safeguard your home and protect your loved ones.
Don't compromise on your safety! 
Operational VS Non-Operational Smoke Alarms
Keep your smoke alarms in good working condition, by remembering to:
02
Upgrade if necessary
If your alarms aren't up to scratch, the technician can install top-of-the-line replacements.
03
Certification
After ensuring everything is in perfect order, you will receive your Certificate of Testing and Compliance for smoke alarms.
Why this certificate matters
A smoke alarm compliance certificate isn't just another piece of paper. It is documentation that confirms your alarms are ready to do their job, should they ever need to.
After the work of the inspection, along with any other needed changes, you will receive this certificate to reflect that your smoke alarms are in compliance with the latest rules in QLD
When selling your home, this certificate also transparently shows potential buyers that the property is safe and sound.
Pre-Sale Smoke Alarm Compliance
Queensland's recent updates to smoke alarm laws require interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms in all bedrooms, hallways leading to bedrooms, and on every level of a house.
