Gas Safety Check Providers in Victoria (VIC)

Victoria's mandatory gas requirement is rental-specific: a licensed gasfitter must check the property every 2 years.

Victoria doesn't run a gas compliance certificate scheme the way Queensland does. Instead, its mandatory, recurring gas requirement is tied to rental properties: under the Residential Tenancies Regulations 2021, a rental provider must have a gas safety check carried out on every gas installation and fitting at the property at least once every two years, by a licensed or registered gasfitter with the Type A gas appliances servicing endorsement. Energy Safe Victoria and Consumer Affairs Victoria jointly administer the requirement.

Melbourne and Geelong are Victoria's two biggest gas markets, both connected to reticulated natural gas through different network operators (AusNet in Melbourne's west and Geelong, Multinet Gas Networks across Melbourne's inner and outer east), but the compliance rule doesn't change by suburb, every rental property in the state runs on the same two-year cycle regardless of which network it's connected to.

If you're a rental provider, the check covers gas leakage, ventilation, a service of every appliance, and a combustion spillage test under AS 4575, and you're required to keep records and disclose the last check date to new renters. If you own and live in your own home, there's no equivalent mandatory two-year cycle, though a periodic voluntary check by a licensed gasfitter is still a sound safety step, especially for an older gas heater or hot water system.
