Taskforce RentSafe provides landlords and property managers a solution to complete their new obligation with the legislation changes that came into effect March 29 2021.
With recent changes to the Residential Tenancies Act the changes that came into effect on March 29th of 2021. Mandatory electrical and gas safety checks will be required every two years with a report being produced containing the gas plumber and electricians licence details who conducted the tests
When complete both property manager and landlord are supplied with a PDF document with all details, readings and observations of the property to ensure you are aware of any potential safety issues.
The new regulation requires any smoke alarm batteries to be changed every 12 months. Our system will notify both the property manager and landlord at the time this is required. Once again to save time and this would be handled for $99 on years where the electrical and plumbing checks are not required.

No, the advertised price includes as many gas appliances as are at the property.
You are only charged for the specific safety check we have done for you. For example: Year 1, Gas, Electrical and Smoke safety $499+gst. Year 2, Smoke safety $99+gst. Year 3, (same as year 1)
If the rectification work requires parts less than $150+gst and takes less than 15 minutes to complete our trades will complete it whilst onsite. We only charge you the cost of the parts, labor is free. If your property requires larger compliance work that is not considered an immediate safety threat we will provide you a quote/estimate with the compliance report. (You can use Taskforce Australia or any licensed trade for the rectification work). If your property has a dangerous non compliance issue our RentSafe manager will call you while our trades are onsite to discuss next steps.
