Pool safety certificates for Gold Coast property
In Queensland you need a valid pool safety certificate (Form 23) before you sell or lease a property with a pool or spa. We inspect your pool barrier against the standard, issue the certificate, and lodge it — fast.
Part of our full range of Gold Coast pool services — one local team for cleaning, repairs, inspections and compliance.
What's included
- Full pool barrier inspection against the QLD pool safety standard
- Self-closing, self-latching gate and latch-height checks
- Fence height, gap and non-climbable-zone assessment
- CPR sign and depth-marking check
- Form 23 certificate issued and lodged on the QBCC pool register
- One re-inspection included if remedial work is needed
A Form 23 certificate is valid for 2 years for a non-shared pool (a standard home) and 1 year for a shared pool (units, body corporate and short-stay complexes). Buyers, sellers and landlords usually need one at a fixed point in the transaction, which is why turnaround time matters as much as the inspection itself.
The Gold Coast has one of the highest concentrations of pools in the country, paired with constant property turnover from sales, relocations and the short-stay market — so safety certificates come up often, and frequently against a settlement deadline. We work to those timelines and keep the process simple.
If something does not comply — a gap under the fence, a self-closing gate that has lost its spring, or a climbable object too close to the barrier — we tell you exactly what needs fixing in plain language. Minor items are often sorted on the spot, and a re-inspection is included so a small fault does not mean paying for a second full inspection.
