If you’re living in Queensland, chances are you’ve heard about the new QLD smoke alarm legislation that’s rolling out in stages. By 2027, every residential property in the state will need to comply with strict new smoke alarm laws designed to keep Queenslanders safe in their homes.

But here’s the big question:
How many smoke alarms does your home actually need?

That’s where our free QLD Smoke Alarm Estimator comes in — a simple, fast, and 100% free online tool that helps you figure out exactly how many alarms your home needs based on the current legislation.

No email. No sign-up. No spam.
Just a quick, easy calculator that does the hard work for you.

Let’s break it all down so you know what’s required — and how ZEN Smoke Alarms is here to help.


🏠 Queensland’s Smoke Alarm Laws Are Changing (And It’s a Good Thing)

Smoke alarms save lives — we all know that. But not all alarms are created equal, and not all homes are up to date with current legislation.

In Queensland, the smoke alarm legislation has been undergoing major changes to improve fire safety for homeowners, renters, and tenants alike. By 1 January 2027, every Queensland home will need to have:

Photoelectric smoke alarms (the safest and most reliable type)
✅ Smoke alarms that are less than 10 years old
Hardwired or wireless interconnected alarms
✅ Alarms installed in every bedroom, hallways, and on each storey

This can be a bit overwhelming, especially if you’re not quite sure what qualifies as a hallway or how many alarms that really means for your specific home layout.


🧮 Introducing the QLD Smoke Alarm Estimator

Here at ZEN Smoke Alarms, we understand that interpreting legislation and calculating how many alarms your home needs can be confusing.

So, we created the QLD Smoke Alarm Estimator — a free online tool designed specifically for Queenslanders to make compliance easy and stress-free.

It only takes a minute or two.

Just answer a few quick questions like:

  • How many storeys your home has
  • How many bedrooms you’ve got
  • Whether there are hallways outside the bedrooms

And bam! — the estimator tells you how many smoke alarms your home needs to be compliant with Queensland’s current and upcoming smoke alarm laws.

It’s like having a friendly smoke alarm expert in your pocket.

🔧 No Sign-Ups. No Hassle. Just Easy Information.

Unlike other online tools that ask for your name, email, or phone number before giving you the answer — our QLD Smoke Alarm Estimator is 100% free to use with zero strings attached.

✅ No email required
✅ No annoying follow-up marketing
✅ No spam — ever

🚨 Why It’s Important to Get It Right

Getting your QLD smoke alarm setup wrong doesn’t just risk your safety — it could mean non-compliance with Queensland legislation. That’s a problem if you’re:

  • A homeowner planning to sell
  • A landlord with investment properties
  • A renter wanting to ensure your home is safe
  • A property manager staying on top of compliance

And even if you’re none of the above — you’re still protecting your family and property. That peace of mind is priceless.


💡 Did You Know?

  • Photoelectric alarms detect slow-smouldering fires better than ionisation alarms — giving you more time to get out safely.
  • Interconnected alarms mean that when one goes off, they all go off — so no matter where the fire starts, you’ll hear it.
  • Queensland smoke alarm laws are among the most progressive in the country — setting the standard for fire safety in Australian homes.

Queensland Smoke Alarm Laws Explained

Queensland’s upcoming smoke alarm legislation changes require ALL homes to have interconnected smoke alarms by 2027 (effective now for properties being leased or sold). This means when one alarm detects smoke, all alarms in the home will sound, providing better protection for families. These new regulations aim to improve fire safety, especially in older homes. The transition to interconnected smoke alarms ensures faster alerts, reducing the risk of fire-related injuries or fatalities. To help you navigate these changes, the short explainer videos below provide valuable insights into interconnected smoke alarms and the new requirements.
