Can I install Fire Safe Online alarms in my Queensland property?

Yes you can! All the smoke alarms we sell are compliant in Queensland, and including all of Australia. Our DIY smoke alarm installation only applies to the wireless interconnected smoke alarms with a 10 year lithium battery.

If a 240v alarm is required for your installation, you will need to have a electrical contractor wire them up to mains power.

How do I get a compliance certificate if I install Fire Safe Online alarms?

Good news! A compliance certificate is not needed. The seller of a Queensland property does not need to provide a certificate to to confirm the smoke alarms are installed and are compliant.

The seller only needs to tick yes or no to the relevant box in the schedule of the contract.

Before selling the property, the seller should ensure the smoke alarms installed are compliant in accordance with its
legal obligations under the Fire and Emergency Services Act.
