- The company had great communication relating to arrival time. They went about the audit quickly, and advised any adjustments I needed to make such as trimming bushes that a child could climb upon (which is something a home owner may overlook as their garden matures).I trimmed back the bush to make safe, the locking mechanisms checked, fence panels checked for robustness, etc. The compliance audit was completed and certificate issued immediately on the spot. All done in 30 minutes. Vey relieved and ecstatic that my 20 year old pool fence is compliant and safe!Shane D25/05/23Excellent communication, very helpful…Bogica Kirkovska02/10/25Joseph is an absolute pleasure to deal with.

More Questions On Pool Inspections
What is involved in a pool or spa safety inspection?
A safety inspection inspects all barriers around your pool or spa area. Whether those are fences, gates, latches, and boundaries. A certified inspector will inspect every area, document anything that’s wrong, and send a report in writing complete with images and concrete recommendations.
Why do I need a certificate of compliance for my pool or spa in Victoria?
All pools and spas in Victoria must be registered with the local council and also have a valid safety certificate. This affirms compliance with state safety standards, which in turn protects children, family, friends, and visitors from accidents.
How often do I have to re-inspect my pool/spa barrier?
After a compliance certificate is issued, a new inspection is required every four years or sooner if there are changes to the barrier. Frequent safety and compliance inspections promote ongoing health and safety, especially after repairs or renovations.
What if the barrier fails the inspection?
If the barrier does not meet compliance, you will be given a report explaining what needs to be repaired. All safety measures must be satisfactorily completed before a certificate can be issued.
Am I required to have a licensed inspector to obtain a valid certificate?
Yes. Only a licensed pool inspector can legally carry out a compliance inspection and issue a valid certificate. Self-assessments or inspections by unlicensed providers violate Victorian requirements and are unsafe.
Can I still use my pool while waiting for the inspection or re-inspection?
If the barrier was previously compliant, the pool may still be used. If it has been identified as non-compliant, the pool should remain unused until all required safety issues are resolved and compliance has been confirmed.
How soon will I be able to receive my inspection report and compliance certificate?
Inspection reports are usually given on the same day, complete with photographs and clear explanations. If the pool barrier passes an inspection, then a compliance certificate will be provided and can be submitted directly to the council.
Is registration with the local council needed before booking an inspection?
Yes. Pools and spas must be registered with the local council prior to the inspection taking place. Once registration is complete, an inspection may be scheduled and the certificate issued upon approval.
Is a certificate of compliance required when selling or leasing a property?
Yes. A valid pool safety compliance certificate is commonly required before selling or leasing a property with a pool or spa. It also verifies the barrier meets safety standards and helps prevent potential legal and liability issues during the transaction.
Why is North West Pool Inspections a reliable choice?
North West Pool Inspections offers licensed and fully insured services, providing deep understanding of Victorian pool safety regulations. By providing transparent pricing, flexible appointment times, clear terms, and effective communication, these aspects make the compliance process practical and hassle-free.
