Why do I need a pool barrier inspection?
It’s the law in Victoria. Every pool and spa must have a compliant barrier to help prevent childhood drownings. Inspections ensure your fence meets the required safety standards.
How often do I need an inspection?
Every four years. Councils will send reminders, but it’s your responsibility to stay compliant.
What happens if my barrier isn’t compliant?
We’ll give you a detailed report and explain what needs fixing. You’ll have up to 60 days to make changes before a free re-inspection.
How long does the inspection take?
Most visits take just 30–45 minutes.
Do I need to be home?
Yes – someone needs to provide safe access to the pool area.
How quickly will I get my certificate?
If compliant, we issue your Form 23 Certificate to you on the same day with a comprehensive report of compliance so that you can lodge it with council.
Do you service regional areas?
Yes – we can arrange inspections outside of Melbourne. A small travel fee may apply, but this is often reduced or waived if more than one household books.
