We receive your inspection request and coordinate a suitable time for both parties involved to complete the service. This can be accomplished in a matter of hours.
Run through our pool compliance checklist before we arrive. If you’re planning a new pool or fence, book design advice before it’s built.

We evaluate your pool or spa’s safety barriers against current QLD standards. Here’s what’s on our list:
We will issue a pool compliance certificate or a report for minor repairs.
If something needs fixing, your report lists exactly what, with photos. You then have 90 days to make the changes, and the same inspector comes back to re-inspect. Your package covers up to two re-inspections within 90 days, at $0.

All pools (and spas) in Queensland must be fenced and registered on the pool safety register. The register includes a record of pools in Queensland, pool safety certificates issued and a list of all licensed pool safety inspectors.
A certificate is only required if you are selling or leasing the property. If you’re living in your own home and not selling or renting it out, you don’t legally need a current certificate, but keeping your pool area safe is still a good idea.
No. For 90 days after a failed inspection, only the original inspector can re-inspect your pool. This keeps the process consistent and accurate, and it’s why our package includes up to two re-inspections within that window.
Local governments have the power to investigate compliance with pool safety standards and can issue on-the-spot fines. Courts can impose much larger penalties, and the QBCC can also fine you for failing to register your pool.
Yes. Use the QBCC pool checklist, or our own TPC checklist, written by our expert inspector.
The QBCC website is the most reliable source of information for all your pool safety inquiries.
We’re available Monday to Friday, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. Call or email and we’ll find a time that suits you.
