Frequently Asked Questions

What are the essential safety standards for Pool Compliance in Australia?

Pool safety standards in Australia are designed to reduce the risk of children aged 0-4 drowning and keep the community safe.

A compliant pool or spa must meet the following standards

  • A compliant safety barrier
    Pools must be fully enclosed by a fence or barrier that meets height, gap, and strength requirements.

  • Self-closing, self-latching gates
    Pool gates must open away from the pool area and automatically close and latch every time.

  • Restricted access to the pool area
    There must be no climbable objects near the fence, and doors or windows that open into the pool area must meet safety requirements where applicable.

  • Clear visibility into the pool
    Barriers and gates must allow clear sightlines so the pool area can be easily supervised.

  • Ongoing maintenance and condition
    Fences, gates, hinges, and latches must be in good working order at all times.

Your licensed Pool Inspector checks your pool against the standards and issues you a Certificate or points out what needs to be fixed.

How do I get a Certificate of Barrier Compliance for my backyard pool?

Getting a Certificate of Barrier Compliance for your backyard pool is straightforward.

Our goal is to help you understand the process, fix any issues quickly and get your Certificate – minus the confusion.

Book Inspection.
We confirm the requirements that apply to your state and property.

Get Inspected
Your licensed pool safety inspector completes your Pool Inspection onsite and checks your pool or spa against the safety standards. The Inspection takes up to 30 minutes.

Get Certified
If your pool is compliant, your Certificate of Compliance is issued the same day.

or

Rectify
If your pool isn’t compliant, you’ll receive a clear report outlining what needs to be fixed, including photos, videos, and step-by-step guidance.

Get Reinspected
Once the issues are rectified, your Pool Inspector reinspects to issue your Certificate.

How long does it take to receive my Form 23 Certificate of Barrier Compliance?

Certificates are issued the same day as the Inspection when the pool meets all compliance requirements.

If non-compliant issues are found, you’ll receive a detailed report with photos, video and step-by-step guidance to reach compliance.

How long does a Pool Safety Inspection take?

Armed with a tape measure, your Pool Safety Inspector completes an onsite inspection within 30 minutes, depending on the size of the pool area, the type of fencing, the condition of gates and latches and whether there are any non-compliant issues to address.

During the inspection, your Pool Safety Inspector checks fence heights, gaps, gate operation, latch heights, climbable objects, and overall compliance with Australian Standards. If non-compliance issues are found, additional time may be needed for Reinspection once repairs are completed.

The Inspection can be completed as long as we have access to the pool area. You don’t need to be present.

If you’re worried you won’t understand what issues you need to address, you are emailed a detailed report including photos and vidoe with descriptions and explanations on rectifications.

We’re on standby by phone or email to answer your questions> Contact Us

 

How can I prepare for a Pool Inspection?

You don’t need to do anything complicated with a little preparation to help the inspection run smoothly.

Before Inspection
Make sure the pool area is accessible with clear access to the pool fence, gates and barriers so the Inspector completes the Inspection without delays.

Check gates and latches are working
Pool gates should open away from the pool, close by themselves and latch properly every time.

Remove climbable objects near the fence such as pot plants, chairs, boxes or pool equipment near the barrier.

Make sure fences and barriers are in good condition. Look for loose panels, gaps, damaged fencing or broken gate latches and hinges.

Collect your property details such as the property address, owner details and pool registration certificate (where required).

Check the DIY Pool Compliance Checklist to find out what non compliant issues youll be up for, or Contact Us.

What are the top reasons for failing a Pool Inspection?
These are the top reasons when a pool fails compliance,
  • Gate hinges and/or latches are faulty or do not self-close
  • Climbable objects are too close to a pool fence, such as trees, plant pots, BBQs and clothes lines
  • Pool fence height is less than 1200mm or boundary fence height is less than 1800mm
  • Distance between the vertical elements of a fence is greater than 100mm
  • Distance below the bottom of the fence is greater than 100mm
  • CPR Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation sign is missing, incorrectly located or out of date

These have easy solutions prior to inspection.

Check the DIY Pool Safety Inspection Checklist to find out for yourself, or Contact Us.

 

What happens if my pool fails the Pool Inspection?

That’s OK. Pools are frequently not compliant because small rectifications are required.

If a Pool Safety Inspector finds a pool does not meet the swimming pool spa fences and barriers safety requirements, a VIC Certificate of Barrier Non-Compliance is issued.

Council requires notification after 67-days following the First Inspection.

Rectifications may require the skills of a contractor builder. Be sure to pick the right builder who gets the job right the first time and saves you from spending money unnecessarily.

The best questions to ask your builder are

Do you know pool safety compliance?
I’m in VIC: what standard do I comply to?
Do you know how to do the rectification works to meet pool safety compliance?


Your report details what needs fixing with photos and video. You’ll have time to complete repairs before >Booking a Reinspection.
