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, receive your Form 23 certificate within 24-48 hours.

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.

Pool Compliance Inspections

Every one of our pool compliance inspections is carried out by a VBA-registered pool compliance inspector — Ryan Gaw, Licence IN-PS 100055 — checking your barrier against the same statewide standard your council will hold you to. Book your swimming pool compliance certificate inspection on 0402 860 499 or through the contact page.
