Pool Safety Barrier Requirements


On 1 December 2019, new laws to improve swimming pool and spa safety came into effect in Victoria. They introduce new registration, inspection and certification requirements for property owners.

As a pool or spa owner you need to complete the following:

  1. Register your pool with your local council.
  2. Organise an inspection of your pool barrier by a registered swimming pool inspector.
  3. Rectify any issues identified by your pool inspection.
  4. Submit a certificate of compliance to your council by the due date.
