Register your pool or Spa with council. Your council will then send a registration letter confirming when your pool or spa was constructed and which Australian standard it must be inspected under. Make sure to have this letter ready when you book your inspection.
Submit your pool registration to the local council. In some cases, your application might require additional documents to be included.
Book a time with The Pool Inspection Man and have your pool or spa fence inspected to assess pool safety compliance
One of our experienced and registered pool inspectors will visit your property to carry out a comprehensive inspection of your pool or spa barrier in accordance with relevant Australian standard. If your barrier is compliant, you will be issued with a pool or spa barrier compliance certificate. If there are any issues with your pool or spa barrier, we will outline each of these items in a clear and detailed written report. Once you have made the necessary rectifications, The Pool Inspection Man must re-inspect your pool or spa barrier with in 60 days from the initial inspection date, and issue a barrier compliance certificate.
Please note: When you contact us to arrange a date and time, our team needs to see the confirmation letter from the council. This allows us to determine which Australian standard to adhere to when inspecting your pool or spa barrier.
Your pool or spa certificate of compliance must be lodged with your local council within 30 days. You will then need to have your swimming pool or spa barriers inspected every four years.
This certificate of compliance must be lodged with your local council for their records, and this remains valid for four years (at which point you will need to arrange another pool/spa inspection). If you know when your pool or spa was built, the self assessment checklist below can help you get an initial idea of potential safety hazards in your pool fencing. (removed and flaws)
