Smoke Alarms – Essential for Your Fire Escape Plan

If there’s a fire in your home or business, a smoke alarm gives you a far better chance of reaching safety by alerting you to danger early.

The Law Overview – NSW Smoke Alarm Requirements

Under Division 7A of Part 9 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2000, smoke alarms must be installed in all buildings in NSW where people sleep.

While NSW law provides the minimum requirement, Fire & Rescue NSW recommends higher levels of protection, such as interconnected smoke alarms in all bedrooms, hallways, and living areas.

Frequently asked questions

Answers to some of the most common questions our customers ask

How often should I replace my smoke alarm?

Every 10 years, or sooner if it becomes faulty.

How often should I test my smoke alarms?

Monthly testing is recommended. Replace batteries annually unless using a sealed 10-year model.

Are interconnected alarms worth it?

Yes – they ensure that if one alarm detects smoke, all alarms sound, giving more warning time.

Can I install my own hard-wired smoke alarm?

No – NSW law requires a licensed electrician for all hard-wired installations.

Do landlords need to maintain smoke alarms?

Yes – landlords must ensure alarms are installed, working, and compliant before and during a tenancy.
