The Queensland smoke alarm law explained

From 1 January 2027, every owner-occupied home in Queensland must have interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms in every bedroom, in hallways that connect bedrooms to the rest of the home, and on every storey. Homes that are sold or leased have needed to comply since 2022.

Interconnected means that when one alarm detects smoke, they all sound, giving everyone precious extra time to get out.

The 2027 deadline: what your home needs

  • Photoelectric alarms only (ionisation alarms are no longer compliant)

  • Interconnected, so all alarms sound together

  • In every bedroom

  • In hallways that connect bedrooms to the rest of the home

  • On every storey or level

  • Compliant with Australian Standard AS 3786:2014

What's included

  • Assessment of your current alarms against QLD legislation

  • Supply and installation of interconnected photoelectric alarms

  • Correct placement in every bedroom, hallway and level

  • Clear advice for landlords, sellers and property managers

  • Testing and a Certificate of testing and compliance alarms smoke alarms
