Fire safety compliance across Sydney & NSW.

All Fire Services Australia Pty Ltd provides fire safety compliance support for strata schemes, commercial buildings, mixed-use properties and industrial sites across Greater Sydney and NSW — including Annual Fire Safety Statement (AFSS) coordination, NSW Fire Safety Regulation 2022 readiness, defect reporting and council submission.

We coordinate the inspections, gather the documentation, and lodge the AFSS on your behalf — so the only thing left for the owner or strata manager to do is sign.

Compliance FAQ

Fire safety compliance questions we hear every week.

What is an Annual Fire Safety Statement (AFSS)?

An Annual Fire Safety Statement is a legally required document that confirms each essential fire safety measure in a NSW building has been inspected and is performing to the relevant standard. The owner or building manager signs the statement and submits it to the local council and the NSW Fire Commissioner.

Does my building need an AFSS?

Most NSW buildings that have a fire safety schedule attached to an occupation certificate, a complying development certificate or a fire safety order require an AFSS each year. This includes many strata buildings, commercial offices, retail, industrial and some mixed-use properties across Greater Sydney.

When did the NSW Fire Safety Regulation 2022 take effect?

The NSW Fire Safety Regulation 2022 commenced on 13 February 2026 for AS 1851:2012 routine service requirements. It clarifies how often each fire protection system must be inspected, tested and maintained, and the records that must be kept.

Who can sign an AFSS?

An AFSS must be signed by the owner of the building (or their authorised agent). The supporting inspection work must be carried out by appropriately qualified practitioners — All Fire Services Australia Pty Ltd coordinates inspections across all EFSMs and supplies the documentation the owner needs to sign.

What happens if my building fails an inspection?

If a fire safety measure fails inspection, we issue a non-compliance report with the relevant Australian Standard clause, a risk rating and a remediation pathway. We can quote and carry out the rectification work so the building stays compliant for the next AFSS submission.
