Terms of use

A summary of published rules, not advice

The guides and the compliance checker summarise rules published by state regulators and in legislation, as they stood on the date shown beside each figure. They are general information, not legal advice. Whether your pool barrier complies, and which standard it is measured against, is decided by your council, a certifier or a licensed or registered inspector, not by this site.

Prices are published ranges

Costs on this site come from named industry sources and are labelled as such. They are not quotes and not offers. A written quote from the business that will do the work is the price that counts.

Rules change

Regulators change requirements, forms, fees and deadlines. Every figure links to its source so you can confirm it is still current before you act on it, and we correct confirmed errors as quickly as we can. If you spot one, see contact and corrections.

Quote requests and referral fees

Quote requests are not open yet. Once they are, a request you send will go to pool safety inspectors, fencing contractors or pool builders who can quote on that job, and only with your consent. Those businesses may pay us a fee for the introduction. It doesn't change what you pay, and you do not have to accept any quote. We do not guarantee that a business will contact you or be available, and any work is agreed directly between you and that business.

The website plan for pool businesses

The managed website plan offered on websites for pool trades is a business service with its own agreement, set out in the website plan terms.

Advertising

This site may show advertising. Ads never change our figures, and an ad is not a recommendation.

Your rights under Australian Consumer Law

Nothing in these terms limits any right you have under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot be excluded.

Who runs the site

The business behind this site will be named here, with its ABN and a contact address, before the site opens.
