The installation of additional alarms where necessary

An assessment of the positioning of alarms
-
Battery replacement

Check-up of expiry dates
Keeping your property compliant with smoke alarm checks
Without a working smoke alarm, your properties and the people living there are at risk.
Every Australian state has its own legislation when it comes to smoke alarms. In Victoria, for example, it’s compulsory to have a smoke alarm on every level of a residential building, and the devices must comply with Australian standards AS3786. Regular smoke detector checks are non-negotiable.
Residential buildings include: Houses and villas; Boarding houses; guest houses and hostels; Sole occupancy units; like flats and apartments; Community housing; Dwelling in non-residential properties such as shops.
As the Residential Rental Provider, it is the landlord’s legal responsibility to ensure smoke alarms are installed correctly and are in full working order. Victorian law stipulates that these must be checked on an annual basis, with batteries replaced and new units installed where required.
That’s why regular smoke alarm safety checks in rental properties are so important.
