Frequently Asked Questions

How often should smoke alarms be tested and replaced?

Smoke alarms should be tested monthly to ensure they activate correctly. Batteries need replacing when low, unless the alarm uses a sealed lithium battery. Smoke alarms must be replaced after ten years, as sensors can degrade over time and become unreliable.

What are the current smoke alarm requirements in Queensland?

Queensland smoke alarm regulations require compliant alarms in rental properties, with these rules expanding to all residential homes in coming years. Alarms must meet Australian Standards, be under ten years old and be interconnected to improve early warning and household safety.

Where should smoke alarms be installed in a home?

Smoke alarms should be installed in every bedroom, in hallways outside sleeping areas and on each level of the home. Correct placement ensures smoke is detected early, providing occupants with more time to respond safely in the event of a fire.
