Compliant Pool

Pool Barrier Inspection
Ballarat and Surrounds

If you own a pool or spa in Ballarat or nearby towns, you’re required to have a registered pool inspector check your barrier every four years. It’s all part of Victoria’s pool safety laws — designed to keep your family and community safe.

​

At Country Vic Pool Inspections, we make the process simple, affordable, and stress-free. You’ll work directly with Denise Fordham, a VBA-registered, female pool inspector offering friendly, professional service throughout Ballarat and Western Victoria.

What’s Involved in a Pool Barrier Inspection

Step-by-Step Guidance From Your VBA-Registered Pool Inspector

Your inspection includes:

  1. A comprehensive check of your pool or spa barrier for compliance with Victorian safety standards.

  2. A written report outlining any areas needing attention.

  3. A Certificate of Pool and Spa Barrier Compliance (Form 23) once your barrier meets requirements.

​

If minor fixes are needed, Denise will clearly explain what to do and often wait whilst you do it — no confusion, no hidden fees. Our goal is to help you pass first time.

How to Prepare for Your Ballarat Pool Inspection

Simple Pool Fence Safety Tips to Help You Pass First Time

A few quick checks before your inspection can save you time and money:

  • Gates must self-close and self-latch every time.

  • Fences must be at least 1.2 metres high with no climbable objects nearby.

  • No gaps under or between fences larger than 100mm.

​

Ask for a full Pool Fence Safety Checklist for your applicable standard to get ready.
