Here’s what the Queensland smoke alarm legislation entails:
- All new and replacement smoke alarms must be of the photoelectric type.
- Smoke alarms older than a decade must be replaced.
- Faulty smoke alarms require immediate replacement to ensure your safety.

Tips
Factors to Consider Ensuring your Smoke Alarms are Compliant with Regulations
When it comes to smoke alarms, ensuring your safety and compliance with regulations is essential. Here are some key tips on what you need for smoke alarms:
Photoelectric Smoke Alarms
Opt for photoelectric smoke alarms, which are more effective at detecting smoldering fires, the type that can smolder for hours before bursting into flames. They are also less prone to false alarms from cooking or steam.
Interconnected Alarms
Consider interconnected smoke alarms, so when one alarm detects smoke, all alarms in your home sound simultaneously. This early warning can be lifesaving, especially in larger homes.
Location Matters
Install smoke alarms in crucial areas, including inside bedrooms, outside sleeping areas, and on every level of your home. Make sure they are placed on the ceiling or high on the wall, away from corners, vents, and air ducts.
Regular Testing
Test your smoke alarms monthly to ensure they are in working order. Most smoke alarms have a test button that you can press to check if the alarm sounds.
Replace Batteries Annually
If your smoke alarms use replaceable batteries, change them at least once a year, or when you hear a low-battery warning signal.
Replace Every 10 Years
Smoke alarms, whether hardwired or battery-powered, have a limited lifespan. Replace them every ten years to ensure they remain effective.
Professional Installation
For hardwired smoke alarms or if you’re unsure about installation, consider hiring a licensed electrician to ensure correct placement and wiring.
Maintenance
Regularly clean your smoke alarms to remove dust and debris that can affect their performance.
Frequently Asked Questions
While you can install battery-powered smoke alarms yourself, professional installation is recommended for hardwired systems to ensure proper wiring and placement.
Install smoke alarms inside each bedroom, outside sleeping areas, and on every level of your home.
Ionization alarms are better at detecting fast-flaming fires, while photoelectric alarms are more effective at sensing slow, smoldering fires. Combining both types is recommended for comprehensive coverage.
Test your smoke alarms monthly to ensure they are functioning correctly. Most alarms have a test button for this purpose.
Smoke alarms have a limited lifespan of about ten years. Replace them when they reach this age, or earlier if they no longer respond to testing or if they emit a low-battery warning signal.
