From 1 January 2022 Queensland Legislative requirements for smoke alarms changes.

Upgrade your smoke alarms today

  • From 1 January 2022, landlords must install interconnected smoke alarms in residential rental properties.

  • When one goes off, they all go off, giving everyone extra time to escape.

  • All other dwellings must transition to full compliance by 2027.

  • Don’t leave it to the last minute. You could save a life.

Existing smoke alarms manufactured more than 10 years ago must be replaced with photoelectric smoke alarms which comply with Australian Standards (AS) 3786-2014. (Note: the date should be stamped on the back)

  • Smoke alarms that do not operate when tested must be replaced immediately.

  • Existing hardwired smoke alarms that need replacement, must be replaced with a hardwired photoelectric smoke alarm.
