🛡️ Pool Fence Compliance Support

Stay Safe. Stay Compliant. Let Pool Perfectionists Handle It.

We’ve seen a rise in calls from concerned pool owners about fence compliance – and with good reason. In Australia, having a compliant pool barrier isn’t just about avoiding fines. It’s about keeping children and families safe.

At Pool Perfectionists, we don’t carry out compliance certifications ourselves – but we work closely with a licensed, independent pool compliance officer and manage the entire process for you, from start to finish.

âť— Common Issues We See:

  • Fences that are too low or climbable
  • Gates that don’t self-close or self-latch
  • Gaps under fences or near boundary structures
  • Overgrown vegetation or climbable objects near the pool

âś… Our Pool Compliance Support Service Includes:

  • Initial Site Review: We’ll visit your property and flag obvious compliance issues (no charge if you’re an existing service customer).
  • Quote for Fixes: If work is needed, we’ll provide a clear quote for any repairs or upgrades – from new gate latches to full fence replacements.
  • Independent Inspection Coordination: We book the licensed compliance officer and attend the inspection where possible.
  • Fix-It Guarantee: If anything needs adjusting post-inspection, we’ll sort it quickly to help you pass.

đź’¬ Why It Matters:

Drowning is a leading cause of accidental death in young children – and almost all backyard pool tragedies are preventable. A compliant pool fence is your first and best line of defence.

Don’t risk it. If you’re unsure whether your pool fence complies, give Pool Perfectionists a call. We’ll take the stress out of the process and help you swim safe and stress-free.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is pool fence compliance and why does it matter?

Pool fence compliance means your pool barrier meets the legal safety standards set by NSW legislation. It’s designed to prevent young children from accessing the pool unsupervised. Non-compliance can result in fines – or worse, tragedy.

2. Can Pool Perfectionists issue a compliance certificate?

No, we are not a certifying authority. But we work with a trusted, fully licensed pool compliance officer and manage the entire process for you, from start to finish.

3. What’s included in your compliance support service?

We handle:

  • A visual review of your current fence setup
  • Organising quotes for any required fixes
  • Booking and managing the independent inspection
  • Post-inspection adjustments if needed to help you pass

4. How much does it cost?

Costs vary depending on what needs fixing and the inspector’s fees. We provide upfront pricing for any work and pass through inspection fees transparently – no hidden surprises.

5. What are the most common reasons pools fail inspection?

  • Climbable objects near the fence
  • Gates that don’t self-close/latch
  • Fence height below minimum standards
  • Gaps under or between fence panels
  • Misaligned or damaged latches and hinges

6. How do I know if my pool is compliant now?

If you’re not sure, book an initial review with us. We’ll flag visible issues and advise you on next steps. Many homeowners are surprised to learn their pool isn’t compliant — even if it once was.

7. I’m selling my house – do I need a compliance certificate?

Yes, in NSW you must provide either a Certificate of Compliance or a Certificate of Non-Compliance with your contract of sale. We can help you get certified quickly and avoid settlement delays.
