Frequently asked questions

What is an Annual Fire Safety Statement?

It’s a statement, issued periodically by a building owner, confirming that each essential fire safety measure in the building has been assessed by a competent person and is capable of performing to its required standard, and has been properly maintained. It’s a key part of ongoing fire safety compliance for many buildings.

Is this the official form?

No. This tool produces a draft that lists the measures and standards to help you prepare. The statutory form, who may issue it, the required wording and where it must be lodged differ by state — for example, New South Wales has a prescribed Annual Fire Safety Statement form and process. Always use the official form for your jurisdiction.

Who can issue a fire safety statement?

In many jurisdictions the assessment behind the statement must be carried out by an accredited or competent fire safety practitioner. Requirements vary, so check the rules that apply to your building and state.

What are essential fire safety measures?

They’re the fire safety systems and features a building relies on — extinguishers, hydrants, hose reels, sprinklers, detection and alarm, emergency lighting, exit signs, fire doors, smoke control and more. Each has a standard of performance and a maintenance standard, which the statement references.

This generator produces an unofficial draft to help you prepare, not a statutory Annual Fire Safety Statement. The required form, eligible signatories, wording and lodgement process vary by state (for example, NSW has a prescribed form). Assessment must be by a competent or accredited fire safety practitioner. Use the official form and process for your jurisdiction.
