Annual Fire Safety Statements (AFSS)

Annual Fire Safety Statements

In NSW’s from the 1st of July 2020 under the new FPAS scheme, only those persons accredited as ‘competent fire safety practitioners‘ under the Fire Protection Association Australia Fire Protection Accreditation Scheme’ are authorised to endorse fire safety measures on supplementary or annual fire safety statements.

Background: In 2017, the NSW Government introduced reforms through the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2000 (the Regulation) to strengthen fire safety certification for new and existing buildings.


These reforms aim to improve the rigour and checking in the design, approval, construction and maintenance phases of the building life cycle.


FSD Consultancy is accredited as competent fire safety practitioners.
