PoolLegislationandSafetyChecks

Pool and spa owners need to make sure their pool and spa are safe to VIC state standards. Specifically, pools and spas constructed from 1 July 1994 to 30 April 2010 must meet the state compliance laws by 1 June 2023.

In 2019, VIC laws required all properties with a swimming pool or spa pool to comply with the pool safety laws with valid safety certification, such as

Form 23 certificate of barrier compliance

Form 24 certificate of barrier non compliance*, or relevant occupation certificate

Councils may issue you a notice to get compliant. You can also face on-the-spot-fines of $330 and penalties up to $1,652.20.

If you have a pool or spa and are concerned it is not compliant, please click on the link below for further information.
