The Queensland Fire & Emergency Service is the regulator, and the Queensland Government is the legislator. This legislation is being phased in and we are now entering the final phase which affects owner-occupiers.
By 1st January, 2027 owner occupiers and all Queensland dwellings must have photoelectric, interconnected smoke alarms in the bedrooms, outside of the bedrooms and at least one on every level of the dwelling.
If you are selling a house in Queensland, you must comply with the new Queensland smoke alarm laws. If you don’t then the buyer can penalise you .15% of the contract price at settlement.
If you are a landlord then you must comply by the next lease renewal from 1.1.22 or before a new lease commences from 1.1.22.
Non-compliance could result in an infringement notice from the QFES
QFES's new smoke alarm laws aim to enhance Queensland homes' safety, mandating interconnected photoelectric alarms for early fire detection and safer evacuations.
I was very impressed with the service I received from Queensland Smoke Alarms. The staff who arranged my booking were efficient, very professional, polite and knowledgeable government requirements. Tony, the installer was great. He did the installations efficiently and professionally. He was honest regarding the number of new devices my house required as I had some previously installed. I have recommend Queensland Smoke Alarms to my realestate agent who commented on the quote and in the future will be recommending them to his clients. Thank you. Andrina
I found Queensland Smoke Alarms through a last minute Google search and they were very accommodating, arranging a smoke alarm inspection for the very next morning. Big shout out to Wade who arrived right on time, was very professional, did an excellent job and is a qualified sparkie if any issues needed to be sorted straight away. It’s clear he takes pride in his work—he was prompt, efficient, and friendly throughout. Thanks Wade and Queensland Smoke Alarms.
Our mission is to protect the lives of Queensland residents, by upgrading existing smoke alarm systems to interconnected systems that rapidly alert occupants to the early stage of a potential fire in their home and to protect them from electrocution by testing and installing electrical safety switches.
