Why do you need a pool safety certificate ?

Swimming pools should be fun. However drowning is the leading cause of death in Queensland for children aged under 5 years. For every young child that drowns in a pool, approximately five are hospitalised due to immersion injuries, some of whom will suffer permanent brain damage. Effective pool fencing helps keep kids safe. This is why new pool safety laws have been introduced.

The state Government's pool safety laws have been implemented to reduce drowning and immersion injuries in pools and spas, and apply across all Council Regions in Queensland. These laws affect new and existing pools.
