Summary
Australian mandatory safety standards require all rental property window coverings with cord loops to feature secure safety cleats or tensioning devices to prevent child strangulation risks. Property management agencies frequently quote around $80 to $90 to install missing blind safety clips. Landlords with basic DIY skills can purchase compliant safety clips from hardware stores, screw or adhere them to window frames, and provide photo documentation to property managers to fulfill safety requirements efficiently.
Key Points
Why it matters: Adhering to mandatory window covering safety regulations ensures child safety compliance while giving landlords practical options to avoid inflated agency installer fees.
