Pool & spa barrier inspections in Mitcham
Mitcham sits between Nunawading and Ringwood, a settled eastern suburb of established homes on leafy blocks where backyard pools are common.
It is part of our regular Whitehorse run alongside Blackburn and Nunawading, an easy trip from Doncaster.
We check the barrier, fence and gates against the Victorian standard and issue your Form 23 Certificate of Barrier Compliance — the pool compliance certificate you lodge with council. Flat-rate inspections from $170 ex GST.
What we check in Mitcham
Our VBA-registered inspectors assess your pool or spa barrier against the applicable Victorian safety standard. The key checks include:
- Self-closing, self-latching gate that never props open
- No gap anywhere lets a 100mm sphere through
- A clear 900mm non-climbable zone outside the barrier
- Barrier at least 1200mm high from the outside ground
- A current, legible CPR / resuscitation sign displayed
- Whole barrier in good repair — no loose panels or failing latches

Form 23 for Mitcham residents — lodged with Whitehorse
Most of Mitcham sits in the City of Whitehorse — that is where you register the pool or spa and lodge your Form 23 Certificate of Barrier Compliance.
The far-eastern edge of Mitcham near Ringwood borders the City of Maroondah — we confirm which council your address falls in before we attend, so your certificate is lodged with the right one.
The process in Mitcham follows the statewide Victorian rules: any pool or spa that can hold more than 300mm of water must be registered with the City of Whitehorse. A VBA-registered inspector then assesses the barrier and, once it complies, issues your Form 23 Certificate of Barrier Compliance, which is lodged with the Whitehorse council — generally within 30 days of issue. Barriers must be re-certified every four years, and a fresh inspection is also triggered when you sell or lease.
If the barrier does not yet comply, we give you a clear list of what to fix and re-check the work, so you get your certificate with as little back-and-forth with Whitehorse as possible.
