Drowning is one of the major causes of death of NSW children under the age of 5. Therefore, we are committed to reduce the number of children drowning in NSW. Statistics show each year on average 10 children under the age of 5 drown in backyard pools.

Why are children under the age of 5 such a high risk of drowning?

• Children do not understand or perceive the hazards that water present to them
• They have no real sense of danger and require a high level of supervision
• They are naturally inquisitive and are attracted to water
• They are top heavy and prone to losing balance

Our swimming pool barrier inspections are carried out thorough and are very comprehensive. We can also help you find solutions to meet swimming pool barrier compliance as required by the applicable Australian Standards.

Certifiers are accredited under the Building Professionals Act 2005, and are authorised to carry out inspections of swimming pool barriers and the issue of certificates of compliance under the Swimming Pools Act 1992, Swimming Pool Regulations and applicable Australian Standards.

If your swimming pool barrier complies:

Upon completion of the inspection, the Certifier will conclude the barrier meets the applicable standard and will issue a Certificate of Compliance.

If your swimming pool barrier does NOT comply and is NOT deemed significant risk:

The owner will be issued with a “Section 22E Notice of Non-Compliances and a Non Compliance Certificate” issued under the provisions of the Swimming Pool Act 1992, Swimming Pool Regulations and applicable Australian Standards.

Thereafter, the client has 6 weeks from the date of inspection to resolve the non compliances as stated in the notice.

On completion of the non compliances, a reinspection is to be organised with the certifier by the owner for the barrier to be reinspected.

Under the provisions of the Swimming Pool Act 1992, the certifier is obliged to forward a copy of the Section 22E Notice to the local council six (6) weeks and five (5) days after the date of inspection, if a certificate of compliance for the swimming pool barrier is not issued before that time.
