Stay Safe & Compliant: Queensland’s 2027 Smoke Alarm Laws Explained
Smoke Alarm Upgrades Required for All Homeowners by 2027
In Queensland, smoke alarm legislation has undergone major changes to improve household safety and save lives. If you’re a homeowner-occupier, it’s essential to know that by 1 January 2027, all homes must be upgraded to comply with the new Queensland smoke alarm laws.
These upgrades aren’t just recommendations—they’re legal requirements. If you’re unsure whether your property is compliant, DHG Electrical Services is here to help with expert smoke alarm design, supply, installation, and support.
What Are the Queensland Smoke Alarm Requirements?
As of 1 January 2027, every home in Queensland (including owner-occupied dwellings) must have smoke alarms that are:
Photoelectric
Hardwired to the mains power or powered by a non-removable 10-year battery
Interconnected, so when one goes off, they all go off
Installed in specific locations:
In every bedroom
In hallways that connect bedrooms
On each level of the home
These changes follow earlier legislation already in place for new builds, rentals, and property sales.
Is Your Home Compliant?
Many homeowners mistakenly believe they are compliant if they have a working smoke alarm. However, older ionisation alarms or alarms not interconnected do not meet 2027 standards.
At DHG Electrical Services, we’ve found that over 70% of homes we inspect are not yet compliant—putting families at risk and homeowners at potential legal and insurance liabilities.
