Safezone Playground Compliance was founded with over 14 years of hands-on experience in childcare and playground equipment inspections. We specialise in providing independent, high-quality playground safety and compliance services to schools, childcare centres, councils, and recreational facilities across NSW.
We are experienced and fully competent in delivering a full range of professional inspection services, including:
Routine and Annual Compliance Inspections
3-Yearly Ground Attenuation (Impact Surfacing) Testing
New Build and Post-Installation Inspections
Welding and Structural Conformance Assessments
All inspections are conducted in accordance with the relevant current Australian Standards, including AS 4685:2021 (Playground equipment and surfacing), AS 4422:2016 (Playground surfacing), and AS/NZS 1554.1 (Structural steel welding).
What sets us apart is our commitment to truly comprehensive and efficient inspections. In addition to standard compliance checks, our team offers experienced and certified tradespeople who can assess the structural integrity of welded components and fabricated structures, an area many inspectors overlook. We also pride ourselves on delivering fast report turnaround times, with most reports provided within 24–48 hours of inspection completion.
Our focus is simple: Deliver thorough, technically rigorous, and honest inspection reports that help facility owners meet their duty of care, maintain the highest levels of child safety, and avoid costly future repairs.
Whether you require routine maintenance inspections, major annual audits, surfacing testing, or new equipment sign-off, you can trust Safezone Playground Compliance to provide professional, reliable, and timely service.
Annual playground inspections are a legal requirement under Australian Standard AS 4685 for all commercial and childcare facilities.
Heavy daily use causes soil compaction in fall zones, which significantly reduces the shock-absorbing performance of softfall surfacing.
Welded components on playground structures are critical to overall safety and must comply with the requirements of AS/NZS 1554.1. To ensure complete objectivity and the highest level of assurance, we recommend that all critical welds are inspected by qualified independent third-party IWI-B welding professionals.
Small cracks or loose components can quickly become serious safety hazards if left unchecked.
Regular professional inspections help extend the life of your equipment and protect children from preventable injuries.
