The Pool Safety Council is established under the Building Act 1975 as an independent body to oversee the pool safety inspector licensing system. Its functions include:
- licensing, auditing, investigating and, where necessary, disciplining pool safety inspectors
- approving pool safety inspector courses
- auditing and, where necessary, disciplining course providers
- making pool safety certificate identification numbers available for purchase by pool safety inspectors.
The department provides a secretariat service for the Pool Safety Council. The Pool Safety Council does not represent the state.
The Pool Safety Council held its inaugural meeting on 8 September 2010 and meets on a regular basis throughout the year.
