Gas Safety Check Melbourne: Find a Licensed Gasfitter
Gas safety checks in Melbourne follow Victoria's statewide 2-year rental rule, across two different gas network areas.
Melbourne's reticulated gas network is split between two distributors: AusNet supplies the city's west, and Multinet Gas Networks, part of the Australian Gas Infrastructure Group, supplies the inner eastern and outer eastern suburbs along with the Yarra Ranges. As with Queensland's networks, this is a distribution detail, not a compliance one: the mandatory two-yearly gas safety check under the Residential Tenancies Regulations 2021 applies to every rental property in Melbourne regardless of which network it sits on.
Melbourne has one of the country's largest concentrations of established rental housing, much of it with older gas heating, from wall furnaces to ducted systems, which is exactly the equipment the combustion spillage test in a gas safety check is designed to catch problems with before they become a carbon monoxide risk. If you're a rental provider managing multiple Melbourne properties, staggering your gas safety check dates rather than letting them all fall due at once, especially heading into peak winter heating season, makes the two-year cycle much easier to manage.
"Gas safety check Melbourne" is one of the most-searched terms for this requirement, and it points to the same statewide rule covered in our main gas safety check Victoria guide, there's no separate, lighter Melbourne-specific version of the check.
