The Rules

How certification works in Queensland

The certificate

Queensland pools are certified with a Form 23 Pool Safety Certificate, issued by a licensed Pool Safety Inspector after inspection against the QDC MP 3.4 pool safety standard. Non-compliant pools receive a Form 26 Non-Conformity Notice setting out what must be fixed and by when.

Validity

Certificates last one year for shared pools (hotels, strata, complexes) and two years for non-shared pools. We track your expiry date and contact you before it lapses.

When it is required

A valid certificate is required when selling or leasing a property with a pool or spa. New pools and spas need certification at handover. The pool must also be registered on the QBCC Pool Safety Register.

Where we work

Statewide, from Cairns to the Gold Coast: Brisbane, Moreton Bay, Sunshine Coast, Ipswich, Logan, Redlands, Toowoomba, Wide Bay, Rockhampton, Mackay and Townsville. Regional trips are batched by week, so book ahead of deadlines where you can.

Pricing

What it costs

Fixed prices, confirmed before we book. No hidden call-out fees.

Inspection & certificate

$350. Full compliance assessment, digital inspection report, and the certificate issued and lodged where the pool is compliant.

Re-inspection

$190. Re-check of the specific items listed on your non-compliance report once they are fixed, not a second full inspection fee.

Rectification and barrier repair work is quoted separately. Travel surcharges may apply for regional and rural bookings outside standard routes, confirmed at time of quote.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

Who can issue a Form 23 in Queensland?

Only a licensed Pool Safety Inspector. Ask for the licence number before booking with anyone.

What happens if my pool fails?

You receive a Form 26 Non-Conformity Notice listing the items and timeframes. Fix them, then a $190 reinspection of those items gets your Form 23 issued.

Is my pool on the register?

Every regulated QLD pool must be on the QBCC Pool Safety Register. We check and can register it as part of the job.

Do you travel to regional Queensland?

Yes, we batch regional runs by region and week. Travel surcharges may apply outside standard routes, confirmed at quote time.
