Hopefully, you registered your pool in 2020 and received a letter from your local council. If not, register your pool on your council’s website or call your council for advice.

Self assess your pool’s safety using the Victorian Building Authority’s checklist. This will help you make your pool safe and give you knowledge on what needs to be done to maintain the safety of your pool.

Contact us by phone, email or use our contact form. We will write to you confirming the next steps, our fees and make an appointment.

Our licensed, independent pool safety inspector will meet you and conduct the inspection. Various measurements will be checked and photos will taken as a record of the inspection. A report will be prepared if there are non-compliant items. A second inspection will be required within 60 days.

If your pool complies with the relevant Australian Standards and Victorian Building Regulations, the inspector will issue a Certificate of Barrier Compliance. You will need to lodge the certificate with your local council.

If there are aspects of your pool barrier that are not compliant* with the relevant standard, the inspector will send you a report detailing those items and suggest what needs to be done to rectify them. You will have 60 days to make the items compliant and arrange the inspector to return to confirm compliance. If your pool then meets the safety standards, the Certificate of Barrier Compliance will be issued for you to lodge with your local council. *Note that if your pool has major non-compliance items that immediately threaten life, a non-compliance certificate may be issued and lodged with the local council.
