Smoke Alarms Australia is an Australian owned and operated company formed in 2005, as a specialist in fire protection for residential properties.

Based in Artarmon, Sydney, Smoke Alarms Australia was first launched following the introduction of the NSW Building Legislation Amendment (Smoke Alarms) Bill in 2005, when the installation of Smoke Alarms became mandatory for all residential properties.

With hundreds of thousands of rental properties across Australia needing smoke detectors installed and many more needing to be checked for correct positioning and proper functionality, it was initially the real estate industry that quickly identified they needed specialist expertise to ensure they met their legal obligations to comply with Smoke Alarm legislation, not to mention to manage their duty of care to tenants and keep them safe.
