Your annual statement, start to finish

The owner carries the legal duty. We keep the process short and the evidence in one place.

  1. Tell us about the building

    Send the fire safety schedule and your last statement, or just the address. We work out the rest.

  2. We inspect and test on site

    A technician tests each measure and records what passes and what does not.

  3. You approve the quote first

    Nothing is repaired until you have approved it. You see every defect with its price.

  4. Statement lodged and logged

    An accredited practitioner verifies each measure on site. The owner's statement is then lodged, and the paperwork is stored in your online record.

Quote-before-repairs and reminders are proposed service commitments for this concept. Confirm before launch.

Common questions

What is an annual fire safety statement?

A document the building owner gives council and Fire and Rescue NSW each year. It is based on an accredited practitioner assessing each fire safety measure listed in the building's fire safety schedule.

Who is responsible for getting it done?

The owner. In a strata building that is the owners corporation, usually working through the strata manager. We can deal with the manager directly.

How close to the due date can the inspections be?

Inspections must fall within the three months before the statement is issued, so we book the visit around your due date, not the other way round.

How much does an annual fire safety statement cost?

It depends on the building: how many fire safety measures are on the schedule, how many floors and devices there are, and the condition of the equipment. We price it after looking at your fire safety schedule and last statement, so the quote is for your building, not an average.

What happens if the statement is late?

Failing to lodge on time is an offence, and councils can charge late fees. We send a reminder well before each due date and keep a record of every visit.

What is AS 1851 and does it apply to me?

AS 1851 is the standard for routine servicing of fire protection systems. In NSW it is mandatory from 13 February 2026 for class 1b and class 2 to 9 buildings, and the duty sits with the owner.

How often do fire extinguishers need servicing?

Under AS 1851, extinguishers are checked and tagged every six months, with pressure tests and recharges as they fall due.

Which areas do you cover?

Wollongong, Shellharbour and Kiama, Southern Sydney, Campbelltown and Macarthur, Wollondilly, the Southern Highlands, and Nowra and the South Coast. Tell us your suburb and we will confirm.
