An Occupier's Statement is a legal document submitted annually to the Queensland Fire Department confirming that all Fire Safety Installations in your building have been maintained to the required standard. Signing it yourself without independent verification exposes you to significant liability if something is found to be non-compliant. Having an independent, qualified fire safety professional prepare and sign your Occupier's Statement gives you, your insurer, and your regulator documented confidence that your building's compliance has been independently verified before sign-off.
Before we prepare and sign your Occupier's Statement, we verify that all Fire Safety Installations including fire alarms, extinguishers, hydrants, hose reels, emergency lighting, and evacuation equipment have been maintained within the required timeframes and to the correct standard under Queensland fire safety legislation.

Prepared and signed by an independent fire safety professional with no affiliation to your maintenance provider.
Submitted to the Queensland Fire Department on your behalf, on time, every year.
When your Occupier's Statement is prepared and signed by an independent auditor rather than the building owner or manager, it carries significantly more credibility with insurers, solicitors, and regulators. It demonstrates that the compliance was verified by someone with no conflict of interest. Fire Auditors prepares and signs Occupier's Statements for buildings across Queensland including strata complexes, body corporates, commercial buildings, and large organisations. We manage the process from verification to submission so nothing gets missed and nothing gets late.

Fire audits are generally required annually, although additional audits may be necessary after major renovations, layout changes, or occupancy increases.
Audits cover all aspects in relation to Fire compliance, some items include (but not limited to) fire alarms, extinguishers, hydrants, hose reels, emergency lighting, evacuation diagrams, training records,evacuation plans, routes, doors and compliance documentation such as Occupier’s Statements or Annual Fire Safety Statements we also take note of any work that has been carried out in the complex and note any changes.
Fire safety inspections are vital for ensuring your building is safe, compliant with regulations, and ready for emergencies. Regular inspections help identify and fix potential risks, protecting your property and the safety of everyone inside.
Under Queensland's regulations, your legal requirements for fire safety include:
These requirements are crucial for ensuring the safety of your premises and compliance with state laws.
Fire evacuation training prepares your staff to respond quickly and safely during an emergency. It covers evacuation procedures, escape routes, and emergency roles, helping to protect lives and ensure your building complies with safety regulations.
Fire warden training ensures designated staff are fully equipped to lead during emergencies. It prepares them to manage evacuations, use safety equipment, and coordinate with emergency services, keeping your building compliant and everyone inside safe.
No, and this is an important distinction. Fire Auditors is an independent auditing company. We assess and report on compliance, we do not physically service, install, or maintain fire equipment. If you need extinguisher servicing, smoke alarm testing, or any fire equipment maintenance, you need a licensed fire protection company. We are happy to point you in the right direction. If you need an independent audit on top of your maintenance, which is a separate legal requirement, that is where we come in.
We audit commercial buildings, residential strata complexes, body corporate properties, convention centres, office buildings, warehouses, industrial facilities, government buildings, and large organisations across Queensland, New South Wales, and Victoria. If you are unsure whether your building type falls within our scope, contact us and we will let you know quickly.
Yes. We work regularly with strata managers and body corporates responsible for multiple buildings. We can audit individual buildings as required or set up an ongoing compliance schedule across your entire portfolio so nothing slips through. If you manage multiple buildings and want one consistent, reliable auditor across all of them, contact us to talk through how we would structure that.
