The Problem
Most Queensland homes aren't compliant
— and don't realise it.
The 2027 deadline isn't a soft target. It's a legislative requirement that affects every owner-occupier in the state.
Section 01
Section 02Working alarms aren't enough.
They must meet four specific criteria — and the one that catches almost everyone is the last one:
- 01Photoelectric — not ionisation
- 02AS 3786:2014 — compliant
- 03Under 10 years — old
- 04Interconnected — wirelessly or hardwired
$834
Maximum Fine — 5 Penalty Units
Section 03 — The Real RiskThe fine is the least of your worries.
Most home insurance policies require compliance with safety legislation. A non-compliant alarm during a fire claim could mean reduced payout — or no payout at all. We're not talking hundreds of dollars; we're talking your home and everything in it.
~ 1.2 million Queensland homes need to upgrade before January 2027. Find out if yours is a 5, 7, or 10 alarm job before you buy anything.

As a single mum, knowing my kids' bedroom alarms are connected to every other alarm in the house lets me sleep at night. Best money I've spent.

“I checked the legislation myself before ordering. Everything matched up. We were compliant in under an hour on a Sunday morning.”
“Got a quote for $1,200 from a sparky. Did it myself with this kit for a third of the price. The alarms came pre-paired so I just mounted them — genuinely easy.”
“Should've done this months ago. Took about 20 minutes. The compliance certificate in the box gave me the confidence I needed.”
Common Questions
The questions everyone asks first.
Yes. Queensland legislation permits smoke alarms powered by a non-removable 10-year lithium battery in existing homes. The law specifies alarms must be either hardwired to mains power or powered by a sealed 10-year battery. Both options satisfy the legislation. The one exception: if you're replacing an existing hardwired alarm, the replacement must also be hardwired.
Under the updated law, you need a smoke alarm on every level of your home, in every bedroom, and in hallways that connect bedrooms to the rest of the dwelling. A typical 3-bedroom single-storey home needs 4 alarms. Use our calculator for your exact number.
Each alarm communicates via a dedicated radio frequency signal. Our bundle packs ship ready paired out of the box — when one alarm detects smoke, every alarm in your home sounds simultaneously. No tools, no app, no setup required.
The deadline is 1 January 2027. Non-compliance can result in a fine of up to 5 penalty units (approximately $834). More importantly, many home insurance policies require compliance with safety legislation — non-compliant alarms could affect your claim in the event of a fire.
