As 2026 kicks off, there’s no better time for property owners and facility managers to ensure their fire safety systems are fully compliant, functional, and ready to protect occupants and assets. Whether you manage a commercial building, industrial site, or residential complex, having the right fire service provider is critical.
At Fire Safe ANZ, we specialise in helping businesses across Australia and New Zealand stay ahead of fire safety requirements with a complete suite of compliant solutions. Here’s your 2026 Fire Safety Action List to set your property up for a year of safe success.
1. Review Your Fire Safety Compliance Declaration
Fire Safety Compliance Declarations (including AFSS in NSW and equivalent statements across Australia) are mandatory for most commercial and multi-residential properties.

✅ Action: Schedule your annual fire safety inspection with a qualified provider like Fire Safe ANZ early in the year to ensure your Fire Safety Compliance Declaration is accurate, compliant, and audit-ready.
