Competent Fire Safety Practitioners

A competent fire safety practitioner is a person that is required to undertake certain specialist fire safety assessment functions required by the Regulation. 

The Department of Customer Service has established a co-regulatory framework to recognise industry accreditation schemes for competent fire safety practitioners.  The first accreditation scheme is expected to become operational in April 2020 and when this occurs, a competent fire safety practitioner will need to be selected from a register of accredited practitioners (if that practitioner is required to be accredited)
