A pool safety certificate, formally known as a Certificate of Pool and Spa Barrier Compliance (Form 23 certificate), confirms that your pool or spa barrier meets the applicable Australian Standard under Victorian pool safety regulations. A registered pool safety inspector conducts an on-site pool compliance inspection and issues the Form 23 certificate if your barrier passes.
The pool safety inspection at Local Pool Inspections covers a comprehensive pool compliance inspection. This includes the on-site inspection, a same-day pool safety certificate (Form 23) if your barrier is compliant, and a free re-inspection if remediation work is needed. All-inclusive, no hidden fees — $250.
