Hardwired and wireless options
Hardwired alarms where practical, wireless interconnection where cabling is not.
Alarm replacement
Replacing alarms that have reached the end of their service life.
Rental and sale compliance

Testing and documentation

What Queensland requires
Queensland requires interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms in homes being sold, leased or re-leased, and in all domestic dwellings from 1 January 2027.
Alarms must be photoelectric, less than ten years old, interconnected so they all sound together, and installed in the bedrooms, hallways and on each storey as set out in the legislation.
- Photoelectric alarms only
- Interconnected so every alarm sounds together
- Installed in bedrooms, connecting hallways and each storey
- Alarms replaced before they reach ten years old
