Why This Matters to Us.
Australia Family Fire Safety was started by Mike, after losing people close to him to a house fire, a loss that changed everything for him. That’s why this isn’t just a service to us. Every home we check, we treat like it’s our own family’s.
Your Smoke Alarms Might Be Lying to You
When did you last test your smoke alarms? If you can’t remember, there’s a good chance they wouldn’t wake you up in time. Alarms that false-alarm from cooking, and get disarmed. Alarms 10+ years old that won’t work when it matters. Most fatal house fires in Victoria happen overnight, between 8pm and 8am, while you’re asleep and can’t smell smoke. A small fire can engulf a room in under three minutes. Your alarms are the only warning you’ll get, and the only chance your family has to get out in time.
It’s Not Just About the Law. It’s About Getting Out Alive.
Victorian law requires every home to have smoke alarms that meet Australian Standard AS3786 (photoelectric only). Ionisation alarms aren’t permitted. That standard isn’t red tape. It’s the difference between an alarm that gives you time to get your family out, and one that doesn’t. If your alarms are old, battery-swap types, or came from a hardware store years ago, there’s a real chance they won’t give you that time. Your free check tells you exactly where your home stands.
There’s another cost most homeowners don’t think about: if your alarms don’t meet the standard and a fire occurs, your insurer may investigate whether that non-compliance affected their decision, and claims can be reduced or denied as a result. It’s not just about passing an inspection. It’s about your family’s safety, and making sure nothing complicates your cover if the worst happens.

A Real Check. Not a Sales Visit.
We come to your home and test every smoke, heat, and CO alarm you already have, not just a glance but an actual test of each one. We check them against the standard that’s meant to keep you safe, and tell you plainly whether they’ll do their job. You get an honest report, in person.
How It Works
One Team. One Focus. Fire Safety.
Common Questions
“Aren’t my alarms fine? They still go off when I cook.”
That’s often a sign of the wrong alarm type, not a working one. Alarms that false-alarm easily are also more likely to be disarmed, which means no warning at all when it counts.
“Do I really need a check? Nothing’s wrong.”
Most people only find out their alarms wouldn’t have worked after something goes wrong, not before. The check is free and takes about 20 minutes; the only cost is finding out too late.
A Fire Doesn’t Send a Warning.
Most homes we check are running alarms that are outdated, miscalibrated, or already past their working life, and the homeowner has no idea until we test them. Your free check takes 20 minutes. Waiting could take a lot more.
