Local, Licensed, and Focused on Safer Pools in Cairns
Swimming pools are part of the Cairns lifestyle — but with that lifestyle comes responsibility. Queensland’s pool safety laws exist to prevent accidents, protect children and vulnerable people, and ensure every barrier, latch, and gate performs as intended. As a QBCC-licensed pool safety inspector, our role is to make compliance clear, practical, and achievable for homeowners, landlords and property professionals across Cairns and the Northern Beaches.
We specialise in pool safety inspections and pool safety certificates (Form 23) with a process designed around transparency and speed. You’ll receive an easy-to-read report, actionable recommendations when fixes are needed, and friendly guidance so you can pass with confidence — whether you’re preparing a property for sale, lease or transfer.
- Clear standards explained: We translate Queensland regulations into plain English.
- Practical fixes: Simple adjustments often solve common failures — we show you how.
- Fast turnaround: Most certificates are issued quickly after a successful inspection.
- Local knowledge: Familiar with Cairns property styles, weather, and materials.
Not sure if your barrier will pass? Ask for our pre-inspection checklist. A quick 10-minute tidy-up before we arrive can save days of delays.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a pool safety inspection take?
Usually 30–45 minutes, depending on pool size and access. We’ll confirm any special requirements when you book.
What happens if my pool fails?
You’ll receive a clear report with photos and action items. Most fixes are simple: adjust gate tension, raise a latch, relocate climbables or install/replace CPR signage. We’ll return for a re-inspection when you’re ready.
Do I need a certificate to sell or lease?
Yes — you require a valid Form 23 for sale or rental. We issue it quickly after a successful inspection and can send it to your agent or property manager directly.
How can I prepare to pass first time?
Use our pre-inspection checklist: confirm gate self-closes from any position, latches are >1500mm from ground, remove climbables within 900mm of the barrier, ensure CPR signage is visible from the pool area, and check boundary fence heights. Ask us for the checklist when you book.

In most sale/lease scenarios the certificate is valid for a defined period under QLD rules. If you’re unsure, we’ll advise based on your situation and timeline.
