All products comply with AS 3786 and local legislative requirements.
Why Compliance Isn't Optional
Every Australian state has specific smoke alarm laws. Getting it wrong risks fines, voided insurance, and most importantly — safety.
It's the Law
Every Australian state and territory has specific rules about where smoke alarms must go, what type they need to be, and how often they should be tested. Non-compliance can result in fines of thousands of dollars.
Your Insurance Depends on It
Many home insurance policies include clauses requiring compliant smoke alarms. If alarms don't meet your state's current standard, a claim could be reduced or refused — even after a genuine emergency.
Landlords Have Extra Duties
If you rent out your property, you're legally responsible for ensuring alarms meet current standards before every tenancy. Getting this right protects your tenants and shields you from liability.
DIY Is Perfectly Fine
In most states, homeowners can install compliant smoke alarms themselves without a licensed electrician — as long as you use the right alarm type for your situation. We make sure you do.
The Good News
Compliance doesn't have to be complicated
You don't need to read through pages of legislation or call a tradesperson. Most homeowners can become fully compliant in a single afternoon — if they have the right alarm and follow the guidelines for their state.
- Know exactly which alarm type your state requires
- Understand where alarms must be placed
- Feel confident your home (and insurance) is protected
