Purpose

The Smoke Alarm Scheme is a Government funded subsidy providing specialised smoke alarms to Deaf and hard of hearing community members living in Queensland.

Overview

The Smoke Alarm alerts the resident to a fire hazard through sight (flashing light) and feel (vibrating pad), giving them the time to evacuate the home safely.

The total price for a Smoke Alarm Kit is $754.60, however with the subsidy it is available to eligible community members for just $50, or $20 with a Concession Card. That price includes 1 smoke alarm detector. To comply with the new Queensland legislation, you may be required to purchase additional detectors at $209.80 each.

Limitations

To be eligible for the subsidy you must be:

  • Deaf or hard of hearing
  • Living in Queensland.
  • Not on the NDIS
