Smoke Alarm Tips for Melbourne

Victoria requires photoelectric smoke alarms in all new homes and extensions — existing homes must upgrade when the property is sold or a new tenancy commences

Consumer Affairs Victoria actively enforces smoke alarm compliance for rental properties — landlords face fines for non-compliance

Melbourne's older housing stock (pre-1990 homes) often lacks the roof cavity space for easy hardwired installations — wireless systems can be a cost-effective alternative

Book compliance upgrades before the end of March or October when rental inspections peak — availability tightens significantly at these times

Check online reviews on Google and trade platforms. Confirm the installer holds appropriate licences for your state or territory — hardwired alarms require a licensed electrician.
