Pool Inspection Services & Safety Certificates
Pool Fence Inspection & Pool Barrier Inspections
Our core service: a thorough, on-site pool safety barrier inspection across Geelong, the Bellarine and Melbourne's west, carried out by a VBA-registered inspector against the current Victorian standard — one flat $250, no hidden extras.
Form 23 Pool Safety Certificates
The compliance certificate you need to sell, lease or rent a Victorian property with a pool or spa. Where your barrier passes, we issue your Form 23 the same day — ready to lodge with your council.
Pool Inspection Cost
$250 all-inclusive: travel, the on-site inspection, your Form 23 the same day on a pass, a free re-inspection and GST. The only costs outside it are the council lodgement fee and any repairs.
Pool Compliance Certificates in Victoria
What the certificate costs, how long it stays valid, whether you need one to sell, and what happens if your barrier doesn’t pass — the plain-English answers for Victorian pool and spa owners, at one flat $250 inc GST.
Non-Conformance Reports
If your pool barrier doesn't pass first time, you get a clear, plain-English non-conformance report — a written checklist of what to fix, with no fine and time to put it right before your free re-inspection.

Council Pool Barrier Letter
Council pool barrier letter — what to do when it arrives, what it means, and why you should bring it to your inspection.

Our Inspection Process
1. Book Online
Pick a time through the online booking form, or just give us a call.
2. We Inspect
We check the barrier, the gates and latches, and everything around the pool against the standard.
3. Certificate Issued
If compliant, your Form 23 certificate is issued the same day.
Pool Barrier Inspections
Pool barrier inspections are the core of what we do — every gate, latch, fence panel and non-climbable zone measured on-site against AS 1926.1, then confirmed in writing. Every check maps back to Victoria's pool safety regulations, the standard your barrier has to meet; our pool safety inspections Victoria page walks through the whole process end to end. If your barrier passes, your Form 23 is issued the same day; if it doesn't, you get a plain-English non-conformance report and a free re-inspection once the fix is done. See our pool compliance checklist if you want to walk your own barrier first.
Pool and Spa Barrier Compliance
Pool and spa barrier compliance covers the same standard whether it's a full in-ground pool or an above-ground spa — both need a compliant barrier, both need a current Form 23 to sell, lease or rent the property. Not on your council's register yet? Our pool registration Victoria guide covers the Form 22 step that comes first. For the full picture of what compliance covers statewide, see our pool compliance Victoria guide.
