If your Pool or Spa is found to be non-Compliant during the initial inspection, owners will be required to undertake the required works, detailed in the Inspection report (within a maximum of 60 days? to make barrier Compliant. Once all works are completed, a mandatory re-inspection will be required to ensure all identified non-Compliant items meet the applicable Australian Standard.
The Owner must lodge their Compliance Certificate with their local Council, within 30 days from time of issue. The Owner has now fulfilled their legal obligations with Victorian legislation. The Owner will be required to obtain a new Barrier Compliance Certificate every 4 years, which is calculated from the date of your last Certificate.
Here is a detailed process to achieve spa and pool compliance.
Barrier inspection is a critical process that involves evaluating the safety barriers of your registered Pool or Spa to ensure they meet the required Safety Standards. The goal is to validate your Pool or Spa Compliance with the applicable standards applied by council, thereby ensuring barrier safety.
Inspection of barriers can only be performed by professionals such as:
Having your pool or spa barrier inspected is crucial not just for compliance with regulations, but more importantly, to ensure the safety and well-being of those who use these facilities.
The Certificate of Barrier Compliance is a document issued by a registered inspector / surveyor, which signifies that your safety barrier meets the necessary standards. As a landowner with a Pool or Spa, you will submit this certificate of compliance to your local council within a 30-day timeframe from the date it was issued.
Upon receiving the certificate, your council is responsible for:
Providing a written notice confirming the submission date of the certificate.
Specifying a due date for the next certification submission, which is set four years from the date of the previous submission.
When submitting your barrier Compliance Certificate, a council fee will be required.

If a swimming Pool or Spa can hold more than 300 mm (30 cm) of water, it needs to have a compliant safety barrier. This is to prevent young children (under five years old) from getting into the Pool area by themselves.
In Victoria, all Spa or Pool safety barriers must be inspected every four years. This timeframe aligns with the requirement from the council that a Certificate of Barrier Compliance must be lodged every four years. This ensures your Pool or Spa is consistently maintained and meets the necessary safety standards.
Yes, you can sell a house in Victoria even if its Pool and Spa barrier is not Compliant (meet all the rules). But the sale contract needs to have a "non-compliance certificate" included. The new owner has three months to fix the Pool or Spa non-Compliant issues to receive a "Compliance Certificate”.
Once your Pool or Spa Certificate of barrier Compliance is lodged within 30 days of its issue date, it will remain valid for 4 years, when your next mandatory Compliance Certificate Inspection is due from date of issue.
