Smoke Alarm Laws (WA) – Are You Compliant?

Power Updates
Written By Jedd Vadala

Who does it affect?

Homeowners
If you're selling your home, smoke alarms must comply with WA legislation before settlement.

Landlords
Rental properties must have compliant smoke alarms installed and maintained. It's the landlord's responsibility to ensure they're working correctly at the start of each tenancy and throughout the lease.


Quick Compliance Reminder

Your smoke alarms should:

  • Be permanently connected to mains power (for homes where required by law).

  • Be less than 10 years old from the date of manufacture.

  • Be installed in the correct locations.

  • Be tested regularly to ensure they're working properly.

If your alarms are ageing, beeping unexpectedly, or you're unsure when they were last replaced, it's worth having them checked before they become a safety risk—or a compliance issue.

Not sure if your smoke alarms meet current WA requirements?
