Complete Residential Safety Compliance: Electrical, Gas, and Smoke Alarms

Streamline Your Legal Obligations with Stream Group’s All-in-One Service

Navigating Victoria’s rental laws under the Residential Tenancies Regulations 2021 can feel like a moving target. With different schedules, strict standards, and heavy penalties for non-compliance, keeping your investment property safe shouldn’t feel like a second full-time job.

At Stream Group, we make compliance completely effortless. We combine your mandatory Electrical, Gas, and Smoke Alarm safety checks into one streamlined, end-to-end service designed specifically for Victorian landlords and property managers.

Why You Need the Complete Compliance Package

Victoria has the strictest rental safety regime in the country, placing a strict legal duty of care on property owners. Missing a single deadline can invalidate your insurance, expose you to severe fines, and compromise tenant safety.

By bundling these three critical checks together, you eliminate the administrative headache of coordinating multiple trades and tracking different compliance dates:

1. Biennial Electrical Safety Check (Every 2 Years)

• The Rule: A licensed electrician must thoroughly test all electrical installations, switchboards, RCD safety switches, and hard-wired fittings at least every 2 years.

• The Stream Group Solution: We go beyond a basic visual sweep—conducting rigorous switchboard testing and thermal imaging to catch hidden faults before they become dangerous electrical fires.

2. Biennial Gas Safety Check (Every 2 Years)

• The Rule: All gas appliances, lines, and fittings must be inspected and certified every 2 years by a licensed gasfitter.

• The Stream Group Solution: We perform meticulous negative pressure, gas leak, and carbon monoxide spillage testing on heaters and cookers to ensure your tenants are safe from silent, dangerous gas leaks.

3. Annual Smoke Alarm Safety Check (Every Year)

• The Rule: Unlike gas and electrical checks, smoke alarms must be professionally tested every single year (and replaced every 10 years or upon failure).

• The Stream Group Solution: We carry out rigorous functional testing using specialized smoke/heat generation tools, verify correct placement against Australian Standards (AS 3786), check interconnectivity, and replace batteries as standard.
