Safety Switches Installation Services Brisbane
A safety switch — also called an RCD (Residual Current Device) — is one of the most important safety devices in your home. It detects dangerous electrical faults and cuts power within 30 milliseconds — fast enough to prevent electrocution. Without one, a fault in your wiring or an appliance can be fatal.
In Queensland, the law requires RCD protection on all new power and lighting circuits. If your home was built before the 1990s, it may have little to no RCD protection — a serious safety gap that we can fix quickly and affordably.
Fused Air installs and tests safety switches across Brisbane and Moreton Bay. We’re Bronze Master Electricians, and every installation is fully compliant with Queensland electrical standards.

Safety Switch Requirements in Queensland
Queensland has some of the strongest electrical safety regulations in Australia. Here’s what the law requires:
- All new power outlet circuits must have RCD protection
- All new lighting circuits must have RCD protection
- Any new circuit added to an existing property must include an RCD
- Rental properties must have RCDs on all power and lighting circuits (from 1 January 2023 for all tenancies)
If you’re a landlord, this is mandatory. If you’re a homeowner with an older property, installing RCDs is one of the most important electrical safety investments you can make.

Frequently Asked Questions
Look at your switchboard. A safety switch (RCD) will have a small test button labelled 'T' or 'Test'. If you don't see one, you likely don't have RCD protection on that circuit.
A tripping RCD is detecting a fault — it's doing its job. Common causes include faulty appliances, damaged wiring, or moisture ingress. Don't just keep resetting it — call us to find and fix the underlying cause.
No. A circuit breaker protects against overloads and short circuits. An RCD (safety switch) protects against earth leakage faults — the type that cause electrocution. Both are needed, and a modern switchboard should have both.
Yes. As of 1 January 2023, all Queensland rental properties must have RCD protection on all power and lighting circuits. Fused Air can inspect, install, and certify compliance for your rental property.
