REIACT Members, we are now in the second half of the transition period allowing homeowners in the ACT to ensure their home swimming pools follow the new safety reforms.

For sales agents and property managers, understanding your obligations before selling or leasing properties is essential.

REIACT is hosting a webinar with ACT-based pool service provider Total Pool Services covering what you need to do before listing, how to manage non-compliant pools and how to communicate obligations with owners, buyers, tenants or investors to avoid delays or exposing your agency to unnecessary risks.
