🚨 IMPORTANT UPDATE – NCC 2025 CHANGES TO FIRE SAFETY REQUIREMENTS 🚨
At FEMS Pty Ltd, we want to keep our customers informed about upcoming changes that may affect your property and fire compliance obligations.
📅 What’s happening?
The updated National Construction Code (NCC 2025), including changes to the Victorian Appendix, is being introduced from 2025–2026. These updates focus on improving building safety standards across Australia.
🔍 Will this affect you?
For most existing buildings, your current fire servicing schedule will remain the same. However, you may notice:
✔️ Increased scrutiny during inspections and audits
✔️ Additional items identified as non-compliant
✔️ Recommendations for upgrades to meet current standards
✔️ Greater responsibility placed on building owners for compliance
đź§Ż What does NOT change?
Your routine fire maintenance (extinguishers, hose reels, fire blankets, etc.) will continue to be carried out in line with Australian Standards (AS1851).
⚠️ What this means for you:
While your regular servicing continues as normal, some buildings may require upgrades or improvements to align with the latest NCC requirements—especially during audits, lease changes, or building works.
