Start your pool check

Before you book an inspector: your results card

For: Pool owners · Last updated 22 October 2026

When you finish a self-check, a sheet opens by itself so you can ask nearby listed inspectors in a few taps. The results page also has a Before you book an inspector card that lists things you may want to fix first and things to have checked in person.

Who it is for: Pool owners who have finished a self-check.

How to do it

  1. Finish a self-check (see Start a self-check of your pool barrier). The sheet opens by itself.
  2. Press Ask all to send your request to the inspectors listed, or Request next to one inspector. Each one shows its suburb, its distance, a Confirmed listing badge if the business has confirmed its listing, and a link to check its licence on QBCC.
  3. Check your name, phone and email (filled in for you), choose when suits you, and tick Send my latest self-check report with this request only if you want the inspector to see your report. Nothing is sent until you press Send.
  4. After Send, the sheet offers the detailed report (price shown, including GST) and a reminder for when your certificate expires. Press Done.
  5. If you close the sheet first, press Book an inspector in the bar at the top of the results page to open it again. It does not pop up a second time.
  6. On the results page, read the card: the things to fix, then the things to check in person. If it says no issues were found in your self-check, it still suggests booking a licensed inspector to confirm.
  7. If no listed inspector near you takes requests through PoolPreCert, the sheet links to the directory and to QBCC's own inspector search.

What it does not do

  • It is not an inspection and it does not decide whether a pool meets the Queensland standard. Only a licensed pool safety inspector does that.
  • It does not say a pool is ready for anything. It only lists what your own answers raised.

Common questions

Can I stop sharing my report?

Yes. Open the request on your Requests page and stop sharing. The inspector loses access straight away.

PoolPreCert helps you do and record your work. It does not decide whether a pool meets the Queensland standard. Only a licensed pool safety inspector does that.
