That annual fire safety statement (AFSS) isn’t just paperwork; it’s verification that your building’s passive fire systems are actually ready to perform in an emergency. Choosing All Passive Services provides clarity and confidence:
Meet legal NSW obligations with thorough inspections assessing passive elements against the NCC and relevant Australian Standards (checking doors, dampers, seals, lightweight construction, access panels, etc.).
Receive comprehensive fire protection services with clear digital reports detailing defect locations, severity categorisation (e.g. critical, non-critical), and photographic evidence for easy rectification management.
Benefit from fast-fire protection issue identification and practical recommendations from our experienced team. We can help you budget and prioritise repairs effectively.
Don’t just tick the box; genuinely verify your building’s passive safety. These inspections often uncover required remediation for fire dampers or fire stopping, with findings that feed directly into your building’s baseline data for ongoing compliance.

To help us get everything organised quickly, just provide a few key details, like your building address and type, the date of your last AFSS, and any known issues that might need assessment.

Understanding your obligations for the Annual Fire Safety Statement (AFSS) is crucial. Failure to lodge a compliant statement with your local council every 12 months can result in significant penalties under NSW legislation, starting from $1000 and increasing weekly. Here are common questions:
Our inspections cover all applicable passive measures listed on your building’s fire safety schedule. This typically includes fire doors (including seals and hardware), smoke doors, fire dampers, fire stopping (penetration seals), fire-rated walls/floors/ceilings, access panels and ensuring paths of travel are clear.
Any non-compliant items are documented in our detailed report with photos and locations. As part of our fire maintenance services, we provide recommendations for rectification. You’ll need to arrange repairs before the AFSS can be fully signed off. Contact us if you need help with defect rectification.
The changes placed greater emphasis on the competence of accredited practitioners (like those at All Passive Services) signing off on statements and ensuring systems perform to the standard they were originally approved to. Accurate baseline data and maintenance records (AS 1851) are more important than ever for proving this.
The building owner (or their agent, like a strata manager or facilities manager) is ultimately responsible for making sure the annual fire safety statement is completed correctly using the official yearly fire safety statement form for 2020 (or current version) and submitted to both the local council and Fire and Rescue NSW by the due date each year.
It varies greatly depending on the building’s size, complexity, and the number of passive fire measures installed. A small commercial unit might take a few hours, while a large hospital or high-rise could take several days. We can provide an estimate when you contact us.
