Compliance Certificates:

If your pool meets Queensland safety standards following inspection, we issue a Form 23 – Pool Safety Certificate. This certificate is legally required when:

Selling a property
Leasing a rental property
Operating short-term accommodation (e.g. Airbnb)

If your pool does not meet compliance standards, we issue a Form 26 – Nonconformity Notice, outlining exactly what needs to be rectified to achieve approval.

Our reports are clear, practical and focused on helping you reach compliance efficiently — without unnecessary delays.

How to Prepare for Your Inspection:

A few simple steps can significantly improve your chances of passing your pool inspection the first time:

Ensure gates self-close and self-latch from any position
Remove climbable objects near the pool barrier (furniture, pot plants, BBQs, etc.)
Confirm your CPR sign is clearly visible and compliant
Check that no gaps in the barrier exceed 100mm

Taking the time to address these common issues before your inspection can help avoid delays and additional visits.
