A pool safety certificate confirms that your pool complied with the pool safety standard at the time it was checked by a pool safety inspector. Pool safety certificates are valid for: 1 year for shared pools. 2 years for non-shared pools.

The property owner has the option to sell a property with or without a current pool safety certificate. However, if the property is sold without a current certificate the purchaser must provide a current certificate within 90 days of purchase of the property.

The pool barrier must be complete and extend around all of the pool, and be at least 1200mm high from the finished ground level. The gap between the bottom of the barrier and the ground should not exceed 100mm. Gaps between adjacent vertical components of the fence should not exceed 100mm.

Dividing fences that also serve as pool barriers are common in Queensland. Both you and your neighbor are responsible for maintaining this barrier under the pool safety laws.

If you make any changes to your pool barrier, you should make sure that the changes meet the Australian Standard and Pool safety regulations. When the work on the pool safety barrier is completed, you must get a new compliance certificate.

A current CPR sign must be displayed where it is clear and visible from all areas of the pool.

Pool fence inspections are crucial to ensure the safety of your pool area and comply with local regulations. Regular inspections help identify any potential hazards and ensure that your pool fence is secure and up to standard.

Pool fence inspections should be conducted at least once a year to ensure the safety and compliance of your pool area. However, it is recommended to have inspections more frequently, especially after severe weather events or if any damage is suspected.

Common issues found during a pool fence inspection include loose or broken fence panels, non-compliant gate latches, inadequate fence height, and overgrown vegetation near the fence that obstructs visibility.
