Gas Safety Check Melbourne

Gas leaks, faulty gas appliances and carbon monoxide poisoning can have serious consequences. As a rental provider, the onus is on you to arrange the proper safety checks. That’s where we come in. Every Monday to Friday, you’ll find members of the Compliance Fixer time conducting detailed gas safety inspections across Melbourne.

Since 2020, it’s been our mission to make completing safety compliance checks easier than ever. We leave no stone unturned, and provide easy-to-read documentation that reduces landlord legal exposure and the risk of penalties. All documentation meets compliance with the Residential Tenancies compliance standards.

Understanding Victorian Gas Safety Requirements

Although efforts are in place to slowly phase it out, over 2 million Victorian homes still have working gas connections in their homes and businesses (Source: Energy Safe). Given how prevalent it still is, we can’t drive home the importance of arranging a gas safety inspection hard enough.

Gas can be dangerous and the longer it’s left unchecked, the more likely it is to turn into a major safety issue. For this reason, the Victorian State Government currently mandates that all rental providers must organise a gas safety check once every 2 years (at a minimum).

Gas Compliance Checks for Melbourne Property Managers

Our team can complete gas compliance checks at Melbourne homes, apartments, units, townhouses, and other properties currently managed under a rental agreement. With the help of a 7-point booking system, we’ve designed this service to be as smooth, stress-free, and flexible as possible, all without compromising on the quality of the compliance check itself. Fast and convenient booking times are standard practice, and urgent bookings can often be completed within just a few days.

The Gas Compliance Technician will perform a detailed assessment of:

Gas main consumer line leak and Pressure retention test
Carbon Monoxide (CO) testing to protect tenant health
Negative pressure testing for gas appliances
Extensive inspection of all gas fittings and connections
Verification of proper ventilation for gas heating systems
Gas Installation Inspection against AS/NZS 5601 gas installation standards
Gas Appliance Servicing (Legal Requirement) as per AS 4575

What Happens During a Gas Safety Inspection?

First time arranging a gas safety check in Melbourne? With Compliance Fixer on call, the process has never been simpler. We coordinate with tenants to minimise disruption, and inspections can proceed with or without occupants present. Essentially, as long as we have property access, everything will be fine.

Every inspection is performed in line with the current AS/NZS 5601 (Gas installations) standards. If we happen to identify any minor issues, we’ll often fix them on-the-spot at no extra charge.

FAQs

What makes Compliance Fixer different from the other providers?
Plenty of operators can offer a low price, but not all of them provide thorough inspections or audit-ready documentation. We carry out detailed checks in line with current AS/NZS 5601 standards, provide clear, easy to read digital reports with photographic evidence, and reduce your legal exposure as a rental provider. You’re not just paying for a tick-box exercise, you’re paying for proper compliance and peace of mind.
How quickly can you attend and turn this around?
We can often turn urgent booking around in a few days! Otherwise, we operate Monday to Friday and aim for fast booking turnarounds across Melbourne as standard practice. Once access is arranged, inspections are completed efficiently and reports are issued promptly, so you’re not left waiting around to meet a deadline. If you’re up against a compliance date, let us know and we’ll do our best to prioritise your booking.
Do you handle follow-up work, or do we need another contractor?
If we identify minor issues during the inspection, we’ll often fix them on the spot at no extra charge. For anything more substantial, we can guide you through the next steps and organise the required rectification works. There’s no need to scramble around looking for another contractor unless you choose to.
Are there any hidden costs?
No. We offer fixed package pricing, so you know exactly what you’re paying upfront. If additional works are required outside the scope of the inspection, we’ll explain the issue clearly and provide options before any further work goes ahead.
Are we actually compliant once the inspection is done?
Yes, provided all appliances and installations meet the required standards at the time of testing. You’ll receive clear documentation outlining the compliance status of each gas appliance, along with digital certificates and supporting evidence. If something doesn’t meet the mark, we’ll explain what needs to be done to bring it into compliance.
How often do I need to arrange a gas safety check in Melbourne?
Under current Victorian State Government regulations, rental providers must organise a gas safety check at least once every two years. Staying on top of this timeframe is essential to avoid penalties and reduce risk to tenants. We also offer ongoing reminders so you don’t accidentally miss your next due date.
Will I be notified when it’s time for my next gas safety check?
Yes, we send out automated reminders and alerts as soon as it’s time to organise your next gas safety check. We’ll provide ample notice and any follow-up inspections are easy to arrange.
Can your gasfitters fix smaller issues on the spot?
In many cases, yes. If we come across minor faults during testing, our Building and Plumbing Commission (BPC) licensed and registered gasfitters can often resolve them immediately without additional charges. It saves you time, avoids repeat visits, and helps get the property compliant sooner.
Will tenants need to be present during a gas safety check?
Not necessarily. As long as we have safe access to the property, the inspection can proceed with or without tenants present. We coordinate directly to minimise disruption and make the process as smooth as possible for everyone involved.
