Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to replace my smoke alarms every 10 years?

Yes. Queensland law requires smoke alarms to be replaced every 10 years from the manufacture date, even if they appear to be working. Over time, sensors become less sensitive and may fail to detect smoke in an emergency.

Always check the label on the back of your alarm to find the manufacture date.

If in doubt, it’s safer to replace it with a newer model that meets current standards.
What type of smoke alarms are legal in Queensland?

Since 2022, all new or substantially renovated homes, as well as rental and sale properties, must have photoelectric, interconnected smoke alarms.

These alarms must not contain an ionisation sensor and must be either hardwired to the mains with a backup battery or powered by a non-removable 10-year battery.

They must be installed in every bedroom, hallways connecting bedrooms and each storey of the home.
Where should smoke alarms be installed in a house?

Smoke alarms should be installed on the ceiling in every bedroom, in hallways that connect bedrooms and on every level of the home.

For homes without hallways, alarms should be placed between sleeping areas and living spaces.

Avoid installing them near windows, ceiling fans or air conditioners, as these can interfere with smoke detection.

Always follow Queensland’s specific installation guidelines or consult a licensed professional.
How do I know if my smoke alarm is interconnected?

Interconnected smoke alarms are designed to communicate with each other—when one alarm detects smoke, all alarms in the house sound together. This feature is especially useful in larger homes or multi-storey properties.

You can test the interconnection by pressing the “test” button on one alarm; all other alarms should sound if they’re properly linked. Interconnection may be wireless or hardwired depending on your setup.
