Queensland Smoke Alarms Legislation – Photoelectric Smoke Alarms
Interconnected Photoelectric Smoke Alarms
Smoke alarms are required by law to be fitted in all residential properties in all states of Australia, with some variations in the needed type and location. New legislation has been enacted in Queensland since the 1st of January 2022. This legislation directs that interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms in QLD must be in all bedrooms, in hallways that connect bedrooms with the rest of the dwelling and on every level. This applies to all domestic dwellings leased and sold in Brisbane and the broader state of Queensland.
New Smoke Alarm Laws in Queensland
The new state legislation for Queensland requires all homes to install interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms in every bedroom, hallways, and level by 2027. While there is substantial time to implement this, the new builds and the sold properties must already comply.
Photoelectric smoke alarms are an effective solution to smouldering fires and dense smoke. Photoelectric technology is the new technology that replaced the old ionization.
For the alarm to be effective, please ensure that the alarms are regularly maintained and tested. The smoke alarms can malfunction due to factors such as humidity (causes corrosion), dust and insects.
Based on household fire statistics over the years, it has been concluded that most fires originate in bedrooms and don’t often trigger smoke alarms in common areas. Installing interconnected alarms triggers all the alarms, allowing more time to attend to the source of the fire.

Interconnected Wireless Photoelectric Smoke Alarms
So what is an interconnected photoelectric smoke alarm? Photoelectric smoke alarms offer state of the art technology that is proven to save lives. They are small circular units placed at key locations throughout the home that are designed to provide early detection of fire. The new interconnected smoke alarms that we offer comply with the new regulations and must be installed in each bedroom, hallways and between bedrooms.
How Photoelectric Smoke Detectors Work
Within the alarm unit, there is a sensing chamber that contains a light-sensitive sensor and light-emitting diode. When suspended smoke particles are present in the chamber, they scatter the light beam from the diode. This sensor picks up this interruption to the light and scattered beams and triggers the alarm to sound.
Why Use Photoelectric Smoke Detectors?
Unlike ionization smoke alarms which rely on visible flames to trigger the alarm, photoelectric alarms are sensitive to particles created by smoke. This means a more rapid response and enhanced opportunity for escape should a genuine emergency be occurring.
What our clients say
Great quick postage. Easy to setup the interconnected smoke alarms. Products are of a good quality. Great price. Have bought twice from this company and will buy again.
Great product and very easy to set up and link together. I used the stick on magnetic mounts which made the job of installation very simple. The remote control makes testing a breeze without have to climb the ladder. The silence button on the remote is fantastic for whenever I burn my toast. Being a Queensland based company, delivery only took a few days. Couldn’t be happier.
I got 3 of these alarms so I could have 1 in every room, to comply with the upcoming change in legislation. They work great and are easy to set up and link together. I also got the remote for them, which is a game-changer, no more having to climb up to the ceiling to test the alarms or turn them off when I burn my toast :). Also they are shipped from Australia, so delivery time was very fast!
I ordered 10 of the Wireless Interconnected Smoke Alarms. They were delivered promptly and in perfect condition having been well packaged. Super easy to install. Nice white finish to match ceiling white paint. Very happy. The Remote Controller included was a great bonus.
