The risk is real

Non-compliance isn't just a technicality.
It's a liability.

When something goes wrong at a rental property, the first question asked is: when was it last inspected? Without documentation, the answer isn't good enough.

Legal & Insurance Exposure

Without a current compliance certificate, landlords may be uninsured in the event of an electrical fire or injury — and PMs can face personal liability.

Failed Tenancy Inspections

WA legislation requires safety switches and working smoke alarms. A tenant complaint or agency audit without records puts the whole portfolio at risk.

Undetected Safety Faults

Corroded main earths, overloaded boards and uncertified safety switches aren't visible until something fails. Regular testing finds problems before tenants do.

What's included

One visit. Four compliance boxes ticked.

We combine all four inspections into a single scheduled visit — minimising disruption to tenants and giving you one clear report to file.

Main Earth Testing

The main earthing system is your property's primary protection against electric shock and fire. We test continuity, resistance and certification status to AS/NZS 3000 standards.

✓ Earth continuity & resistance testing
✓ Main earth conductor inspection
✓ Written test results & certification

Switchboard Compliance

WA law requires safety switches on all circuits in rental properties. We inspect, test and upgrade your board to current legislative standards — and document everything.

✓ Safety switch installation & testing
✓ Circuit breaker & wiring inspection
✓ Compliance certificate issued

RCD / Safety Switch Testing

Safety switches save lives — but only when they work. We use calibrated test equipment to verify trip times on every RCD across the property, not just a manual button press.

✓ Calibrated RCD trip-time testing
✓ All circuits tested individually
✓ Faulty RCDs replaced on the spot

Smoke Alarm Compliance

WA's 2023 smoke alarm laws require photoelectric alarms on every level and within 3m of every bedroom. We test, replace and certify to the latest legislative requirements.

✓ Photoelectric alarm testing & placement
✓ Replacement of non-compliant alarms
✓ Signed compliance certificate

FAQ

Common questions

There's no single mandated frequency in WA, but most property management agencies recommend an annual compliance check. This keeps your documentation current, ensures safety switches and smoke alarms are tested in line with legislation, and provides defensible records in the event of a tenancy dispute or insurance claim.
Main earth testing is required under AS/NZS 3000 (the Wiring Rules) to ensure the earthing system is functioning correctly. While it may not have a specific annual mandate, it forms part of the overall electrical safety compliance for a property and is critical for insurance purposes. A faulty main earth is one of the most serious electrical safety risks in a building.
Under WA's Electrical Requirements for Rental Properties, all rental properties must have safety switches (RCDs) installed on power point and lighting circuits. Landlords are responsible for ensuring compliance. Properties that don't meet this requirement expose landlords to significant legal and financial liability, and property managers to professional liability as well.
From 2023, all rental properties in WA must have photoelectric smoke alarms installed on every storey, within 3 metres of every bedroom door, and in other specified areas. Older ionisation-type alarms do not meet the new requirements. We test and replace alarms as part of every compliance inspection, and issue a certification confirming the property meets current legislation.
