Strata schemes can be quite different to other properties as the location of safety switches can vary in each property. Common places where a safety switch can be found in an individual lot include hallway entry, kitchen or linen cupboards. If you have a safety switch in your property you can check them yourself.

If the safety switch is located on common property like a power room, garage or another shared area, then tenants should contact the landlord or property manager to arrange a test. Property owners will need to contact the strata manager or owners corporation and ask for this to be included in the scheme’s regular safety checks.
