In Victoria, pool and spa owners are legally required to maintain safety barriers that meet rigorous Australian Standards (AS 1926.1). Since 2019, all swimming pools and spas capable of holding more than 300mm of water—including portable and inflatable models—must be registered with the local council and inspected every four years. Our comprehensive Pool & Spa Barrier Compliance Inspection ($199 incl GST) ensures your family stays safe and your property remains fully compliant with state safety regulations. A typical on-site compliance inspection takes 30 to 60 minutes. During this time, a fully insured and VBA-registered inspector performs a meticulous assessment of your safety barriers, gates, latches, and non-climbable zones. We verify that all gates self-close and self-latch automatically from any open position without human intervention. We also check for climbable objects like trees or furniture within the 900mm non-climbable zone, ensure the barrier's vertical height is at least 1.2 meters from the finished ground level, and measure gaps under the fence and between vertical bars to ensure they do not exceed the 100mm limit. Additionally, we assess the structural integrity of the barrier to ensure it is securely fixed to the ground and can withstand impact. Following the inspection, you will receive a clear, actionable compliance report within 24 hours, free of technical jargon. If deficiencies are found, we provide professional guidance on the necessary fixes, and you typically have up to 60 days to rectify these defects. Our transparent fee covers the initial inspection and any required reinspection visits at no extra cost. Once all standards are fully met, we issue your Certificate of Barrier Compliance (Form 23) for direct lodgement with your local Victorian council, completing the stress-free process.
