Why Safety Switch Compliance Matters

Safety switches are critical life-saving devices that cut power instantly when electrical faults are detected. But many homes across Australia are still non-compliant or have faulty switches without owners even realising.

Whether you’re a landlord, property manager, or homeowner, annual testing and certification ensures you’re legally protected — and your tenants are safe.

Legal Requirements

Are You Compliant?

All rental properties must have a functioning safety switch on all power circuits. New requirements recommend switches on lighting circuits as well. Mandatory checks are advised annually or between tenancies.

Rental properties must have at least one working safety switch (RCD) protecting power circuits. It’s also best practice to have switches on lighting circuits. Landlords must record their condition at the start of each tenancy and ensure testing at least every six months or between tenancies. Faulty safety switches are classed as urgent repairs and must be fixed by a licensed electrician.

All rental properties are legally required to have safety switches installed on power circuits. For homes built before the early 1990s, many may still lack these protections, making upgrades essential. Regular testing is strongly recommended to ensure compliance and tenant safety.

In the ACT, landlords must ensure rental homes are fitted with functioning safety switches on all power circuits. Annual testing and compliance reporting are advised to meet tenancy obligations and safeguard against electrical risks.
