What Pool Safety Certificate does

Pool Safety Solutions Pty Ltd is a private Australian pool safety inspection and certification company founded in 2011 and headquartered in Docklands, Victoria. The company conducts onsite and virtual inspections of residential pool and spa barriers against Australian Standard AS1926.1 (across versions including 1986, 1993, 2007, and 2012) and state-specific regulations in Queensland, New South Wales, and Victoria. Inspections check fence heights, gaps, gate operation, latch heights, climbable objects, and overall barrier compliance; same-day certificates are issued upon passing inspection, and non-compliant pools receive detailed photo- and video-supported rectification reports. The company holds registrations with the Queensland Building and Construction Commission (QBCC), NSW Fair Trading, and the Victorian Building Authority (VBA), and reports having completed over 15,000 inspections since inception.

The product portfolio comprises three core offerings: onsite pool safety inspections (A$199 promotional / A$398 standard plus a A$89 administration fee), virtual inspections (A$179 promotional / A$358 standard), and a VIP Pool Compliance Package at A$495 (claimed total value A$1,615) bundling unlimited consultations, a free CPR sign with installation, council management, and priority repair solutions. State-specific compliance certificates include Form 23 / Form 26 (QLD), Certificate of Compliance / Non-Compliance (NSW), and Certificate of Barrier Non-Compliance (VIC). Revenue is transactional per inspection, supplemented by referral connections to licensed builders for pool fence repair work when pools fail inspection.

Distribution is primarily self-serve via an online booking platform and a 1300-number phone line, with referral flow from six named Australian real estate brands — Ray White, PRD, McGrath, Belle Property, Coronis, and Schmith — and a secondary partnership with Swimply for inspecting pools listed on that hourly-rental platform. Customer segments are residential property owners, professional property managers, and real estate agencies. The company has no disclosed institutional funding, no parent company, and operates as an independent proprietary limited entity.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• BPI Building & Pest Inspections: Established Australian building and pest inspection franchise network that includes pool safety inspections as an adjacent service. Comparable because it serves overlapping customer segments (residential property buyers, sellers, real estate agents) across multiple states with pooled inspection work.
• Jim's Building Inspections: National Australian franchise offering building and pool safety inspections as part of a broader property inspection portfolio. Comparable because it offers the same onsite pool barrier certification service across multiple states, though it operates as part of the wider Jim's franchise ecosystem rather than a pool-specialist.
• Housepect: Australian building and property inspection provider whose portfolio includes pool safety compliance checks. Comparable as a multi-state inspection services competitor that overlaps with Pool Safety Solutions on pool barrier certification, but offers a broader inspection menu.

Direct peers

• Inspector Adventures: Australian pool safety inspection service conducting onsite barrier compliance inspections against state regulations. Comparable as a specialist competitor offering the same Form 23/Form 26 and Certificate of Non-Compliance workflow for residential property owners.
• PoolCertify: Australian pool safety inspection specialist offering onsite pool barrier inspections and Form 23/Form 26 certification across multiple states. Highly comparable as a direct specialist competitor focused on the same Australian Standard AS1926.1 compliance workflow.
• SecurePool Inspections: Pool safety and barrier compliance inspection service operating across Australian states. Comparable due to similar value proposition — licensed inspector onsite visits, same-day certificates, and connections to repair contractors for non-compliant pools.
