Online Pool Register

All pool and spa owners are required by law to register their swimming pool and/or spa on the NSW Swimming Pool Register.

The NSW Swimming Pool Register was introduced to help prevent backyard drownings, which claim the lives of 17 Australian toddlers on average each year. Research indicates that by increasing compliance with pool barrier requirements the rate of infant death by drowning could be reduced by up to 41 per cent.

All pools and spas that hold 30cm or more water (this includes portable and inflatable pools) must be registered

  • Registration is free
  • Fines of $220 apply for unregistered pools

Details to know before you register your pool or spa

  • Address
  • Property type: private residence, multi-occupancy (eg. units), tourism or visitor accommodation
  • Is the property on the waterfront
  • Is it on land greater than two hectares or less than 230 square metres
  • When it was built: three choices of date range apply. Requirements vary depending on the construction year
  • Has the pool barrier been substantially modified or rebuilt and when that work was done (three choices of date range apply)
