Webinar on NSW fire safety reform and AS 1851

AIRAH, AMCA Australia and FPA Australia are running a free webinar on February 3, 2025, to explore the evolving landscape of NSW building reforms and the critical implications of mandatory compliance with AS 1851-2012.

The session is aimed at maintenance contractors, fire safety practitioners, building owners, and anyone navigating NSW’s building industry’s compliance and accreditation challenges. Participants will gain insights into key changes and the impacts for different professionals working in fire safety.

Topics include:

• What the introduction of AS 1851 means – and what it doesn’t mean
• The interplay between AS 1851 and Annual Fire Safety Statements (AFSS)
• Assessment, maintenance and testing
• Fire Safety Schedule (FSS), certification and roles
• Enforcement
• Latest updates from the NSW government.

Panellists include Verified Founder and Managing Director Glenn Talbot; Grosvenor Engineering Group Essential Services Team Leader Ivan Steed, M.AIRAH; and Certifiers2U Director and Founder Nat Andrews.

The webinar will be held from 12–1pm (AEDT) on Monday, February 3, and will build on the discussion in the webinar on NSW fire safety reforms, held in December 2025.
