Ready for 1 January 2027?
Three questions.

Answer all three and we show you where your home stands. The result goes with your free check request.

  1. 1 Are all your smoke alarms photoelectric, and do they comply with AS 3786-2014?
  2. 2 Is there an alarm in every bedroom, in each hallway that connects bedrooms, and on every storey, all interconnected?
  3. 3 Is every alarm under 10 years old, and hardwired or powered by a 10-year lithium battery?

Source: the Queensland Fire Department smoke alarm rules (opens in a new tab) (Queensland Government). This is general information, not legal advice. Meeting the rules is the owner's responsibility.

The 1 January 2027 requirement

What it means for your home.

A white vented smoke alarm mounted on a softly lit white ceiling.

  • Every home

    All existing private homes, townhouses and units in Queensland, by 1 January 2027.

  • Interconnected photoelectric

    Photoelectric alarms, linked so when one goes off, they all go off.

  • In the right places

    On each storey, in each bedroom, and in hallways that connect bedrooms.

  • Who fits them

    Hardwired alarms: a licensed electrician. 10-year battery alarms: you can fit them yourself.

Meeting Queensland requirements is the owner's responsibility. (opens in a new tab)
