Helping You Stay Compliant
Legislation now requires all existing homes, townhouses and units in Queensland to have interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms installed by 1 January 2027, and new homes must already comply. That means when one alarm triggers, all alarms must sound together.
Alarms must be photoelectric (no ionisation units), must comply with AS3786-2014, and be interconnected via mains wiring with a backup power source (or use 10-year non-removable battery models where allowed).
They must be installed:
- On every storey
- In every bedroom
- In hallways connecting bedrooms & other parts of the dwelling
For sellers and landlords, compliance is already mandated at time of sale or lease. We can help you with installations, testing, upgrades and certification to meet these rules before time runs out.

FAQ
What type of smoke alarms are now required in Queensland?
Queensland law requires photoelectric, interconnected smoke alarms that comply with Australian Standard AS 3786:2023. These must be installed in all bedrooms, hallways connecting bedrooms, and at least one on every level of a home. Interconnection means if one alarm sounds, all alarms activate, giving earlier warning and more time to escape safely.
How often should smoke alarms be tested and replaced?
Smoke alarms should be tested monthly using the test button and cleaned regularly to remove dust. Batteries (if removable) should be changed at least yearly, while alarms themselves must be replaced every 10 years. Regular testing ensures they operate correctly and meet both safety expectations and compliance requirements.
Can I install or replace smoke alarms myself?
Battery-powered smoke alarms can often be installed by homeowners, but any hard-wired or interconnected systems must be fitted by a licensed electrician. DIY electrical work is illegal and unsafe. Professional installation ensures alarms are positioned correctly, interconnected as required, and fully compliant with Queensland regulations, giving peace of mind.
