Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my smoke alarms are compliant in Queensland?

To be compliant, your smoke alarms must be photoelectric (not ionisation), less than 10 years old, interconnected with all other alarms in the home, and either hardwired to the mains or powered by a non-removable 10-year battery.

They must be installed in every bedroom, in hallways that connect bedrooms and on each level of the house.

If your alarms don’t meet these criteria, they likely need upgrading.
Why do I need interconnected smoke alarms?

Interconnected smoke alarms are linked, so when one detects smoke, all alarms go off at once. This is especially important in larger homes or houses with multiple levels, as it gives everyone more time to respond—no matter where the fire starts.

Interconnected alarms improve early warning and safety, making them a legal requirement in Queensland for rentals, sales and new builds.
Can I use a battery-powered smoke alarm in Queensland?

Yes, but it must be powered by a sealed, non-removable 10-year lithium battery. Standard 9V battery alarms that you change annually no longer meet the requirements for rental or sale properties in Queensland.

For full compliance, the alarm must also be photoelectric and interconnected with others in the house.
What’s the best place to put smoke alarms in a house?

Smoke alarms should be installed on the ceiling in every bedroom, in hallways leading to bedrooms, and on every level of your home. Avoid corners and keep them away from air conditioning vents, windows or ceiling fans, which can impact how smoke reaches the sensor.

The goal is to cover sleeping areas and main escape paths to give early warning in an emergency.
