Complete Compliance From One Contact
At Port Stephens Fire Protection, we cover the fire compliance obligations that come with owning or managing a building. That includes fire equipment servicing and emergency lighting testing and annual fire safety certification that ties the whole picture together. Everything runs on one schedule, so your inspections don't arrive in dribs and drabs across the year. We work throughout Port Stephens, from Nelson Bay and Anna Bay through to Medowie, Karuah and Raymond Terrace. Call 0460 644 635 to arrange a site visit.

Fire Equipment Sales & Servicing
Fire equipment servicing covers the inspection, testing and repair of extinguishers, hose reels and fire blankets on the cycles the Australian standards require.

Emergency Lighting Testing & Inspection
Emergency lighting testing confirms your exit signs and emergency lights will still run for the full 90 minutes after the power cuts out.

Annual Fire Safety Certification
Annual fire safety certification covers the full assessment of your building’s essential fire safety measures, issued by an Accredited Fire Safety Assessor authorised to certify Annual Fire Safety Statements in NSW.

Assessment vs. Maintenance
These two get mixed up constantly, and the difference matters when your statement is due.
Maintenance
Maintenance is the routine work through the year: inspecting, testing and servicing each measure to the national fire servicing standard, which NSW made mandatory for most buildings other than standalone houses on 13 February 2026. It keeps the equipment working and creates the records behind it.
Assessment
Assessment is separate. An accredited practitioner inspects each measure listed on your fire safety schedule and confirms it's capable of performing to the standard it was installed to. That assessment is what informs the Annual Fire Safety Statement.
Good maintenance doesn't guarantee a clean assessment, and an assessment can't fix what maintenance missed. We do both, so nothing turns up at the last minute.
