Queensland's 2027 smoke alarm deadline

Queensland has the strictest smoke alarm laws in Australia. Rental homes and homes being sold have had to comply since 1 January 2022. From 1 January 2027, every home in Queensland must comply, including owner-occupied houses and units. Under the rules, smoke alarms must be:

• Photoelectric (complying with AS 3786-2014), not ionisation

• Interconnected, so when one alarm sounds, they all sound

• Installed in every bedroom

• Installed in hallways that connect bedrooms to the rest of the home, or between the bedroom area and the rest of the level if there's no hallway

• Installed on every storey, even if there are no bedrooms on that level

• Hardwired or powered by a 10-year non-removable battery. Existing hardwired alarms must be replaced with hardwired alarms

• Replaced once they're 10 years old, or sooner if they fail when tested

With the deadline approaching, electricians' diaries will fill up late in 2026. Booking early means you're compliant without the rush.

Smoke alarms for landlords and property managers

Rental properties must already comply. Landlords are also required to test and clean smoke alarms within 30 days before a new tenancy starts or a tenancy is renewed. We work with property managers and landlords across the Gold Coast to upgrade, test and document smoke alarms, and we can check safety switches on the same visit. See our property management electrical services.

Selling your home?

If you're selling, your home must have compliant smoke alarms and you need to declare this in the contract. We can inspect your current alarms and upgrade them before settlement so the sale isn't held up.

Hardwired or battery?

If your home already has hardwired (240V) smoke alarms, the law says they must be replaced with hardwired alarms. Where there's no existing wiring, 10-year battery alarms that interconnect wirelessly can be a neat, cost-effective option. We'll look at your home and recommend the best compliant setup, rather than a one-size-fits-all package.

Why use a licensed electrician?

Hardwired smoke alarms must be installed by a licensed electrician. Using us also means alarms go in the right places for the compliance rules, away from air-conditioning vents, ceiling fans and corners where smoke doesn't reach properly, and every alarm is tested and interconnected before we leave.

Areas we cover

We install smoke alarms across the Gold Coast, including Upper Coomera, Coomera, Pimpama, Oxenford, Helensvale and Hope Island, plus Logan and the Scenic Rim.
