Whether you live in Cairns, Townsville, Brisbane or the Gold Coast, PSA Lifesaver Smoke Alarms are specifically engineered for Queensland homes. No matter the conditions, we’ve got you covered with technology that has superior detection and is made to last.
In Queensland, new smoke alarm laws mandate that by 1 January 2027, all dwellings must have interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms installed. By law, every Queensland home must have smoke alarms installed that meet these three requirements:
Installed in every bedroom, in connecting hallways, and on every level of your home.
Photoelectric type, compliant with AS3786:2014
Fully interconnected—when one alarm sounds, they all sound.
Every home is different, but here’s a quick way to estimate:
Example: A two-storey, three-bedroom home with two hallways = minimum 5 alarms required
For exact requirements, ask your electrician or a licensed smoke alarm maintenance company.
Sleep Soundly. Wake Safely. PSA Smoke Alarms – Always on Guard.
Queensland’s heat and humidity can cause havoc, causing standard smoke alarms to falsely trigger, waking up the entire household at night and leading to costly replacements.
That’s why PSA developed the Lifesaver range specifically for Queensland homes. We have spent the last 5 years testing under Queensland conditions to produce the most advanced Smoke Alarm available.
The Advance Sensor offers superior smoke detection with an all new photoelectric chamber design and advanced software.
Features a specially designed, ultra-fine mesh to minimise the chance of insects entering the sensor chamber, ensuring uninterrupted operation without compromising sensitivity.
The Advance Sensor has been specially designed to be resistant to moisture-related triggers that commonly occur during high-humidity events.
The innovative conductive chamber actively repels dust particles, reducing maintenance needs and extending the alarm’s lifespan by preventing dust accumulation.
Remotely test and silence Lifesaver Smoke Alarms with the wireless test hush remote.
Mains powered smoke alarm with a replaceable 9VDC backup battery.
Mains powered smoke alarm with a 10 year, fixed rechargeable backup battery.
Wireless smoke alarm powered by dual, non-replaceable 10 year lithium batteries.
Some homes require smoke alarms to be wirelessly interconnected for full compliance. The LIF6000WB module allows LIF6800 and LIF6800RL alarms to wirelessly connect with each other and with the LIF6000DCW, ensuring your home is fully networked and compliant.
PSA stands behind every alarm we make. Our Australian-based technical support team is available 24/7 to help with installations, troubleshooting, or any questions on our Lifesaver range.
PSA has been protecting Australian homes since 1985. We’re a family-owned business with products designed here, tested here, and trusted here. Every alarm in our Lifesaver range comes with a 10-year warranty.

At Detector Inspector, we provide a like-for-like brand in our replacement installations. So, if a client has a PSA, we replace it with another PSA. PSA products now rate as a 9/10, and they are so easy to install and troubleshoot.
We don’t want any headaches, and with PSA’s 10-year warranty, there’s peace of mind. I’d rate PSA’s customer service as 9.5/10.
PSA products are good, reasonably priced, and their investment in R&D has addressed the humidity issue. By far, PSA is the most personable and easy to work with as well.

We manage the maintenance of around 100 apartments across multiple buildings. Over the years, we’ve experienced ongoing issues with false alarms caused by moisture and humidity, sometimes as frequently as weekly with products from various manufacturers. As we upgraded our apartments to meet the new standards, we chose to place our trust entirely in PSA, and it’s a decision we’re very happy with.
Since switching to the new-generation PSA smoke detectors, we haven’t encountered a single issue. I confidently rate PSA 10 out of 10 for delivering a high-quality product backed by exceptional service. I have no hesitation recommending PSA Products to others, they truly care about their product development and customer experience.

Varsity Apartments, located on the Sunshine Coast, cater to student accommodation. We have 124 apartments, 32 blocks, all of which have four bedrooms, so we run 640 smoke alarms to keep them all safe.
We’ve been using the Lifesaver 6800, which has been a massive improvement over the previous models. Due to dust and humidity, we used to experience multiple false alarms; however, we’ve had only three issues in total over the last 18 months.
I’m very happy to continue using the Lifesaver 6800 with the Advance Sensor; it’s an advancement in smoke alarms, along with the internal mesh that minimises dust and insects.

I’ve seen a significant improvement in the Lifesaver & DCW. We previously experienced issues, along with other brands, but we’re no longer facing any problems.
We offer PSA as our premium product because PSA continues to innovate, improve, and now features a double sensor that eliminates dust and insects as well.
PSA service and technical support are excellent. Personal service, extended warranties and timing for turnarounds is awesome. There’s a smooth process for replacing old with new.
I would rate PSA’s customer and tech support as 10/10.
