  • An electrical safety check is a thorough inspection of your property’s electrical system to ensure everything is safe, compliant, and working as it should. We check power points, switches, and switchboards (including safety switches and earthing) for faults or hazards, and confirm everything meets current safety standards.

    In Victoria, electrical safety checks are required every 2 years for rental properties. Even if it’s not legally required for you, it’s still a good idea — regular checks can prevent dangerous faults, reduce fire risks, and give you peace of mind.

For rental properties, landlords are responsible for ensuring smoke alarms are installed and maintained correctly.

    Even if it’s not legally required for your property, regular checks help keep your home safe and give you peace of mind.
