Comprehensive Playground Inspections in Australia

Comprehensive Playground Inspections—sometimes referred to as Annual Inspections or Full Compliance Audits—are the most detailed and technically rigorous assessments required under AS 4685.0:2021 and associated Australian Standards. These inspections should be carried out at least once every 12 months, or after major incidents, upgrades, or significant environmental events.

A Comprehensive Inspection provides a complete evaluation of the playground’s overall safety, structural integrity, compliance with Standards, and long-term condition. It examines not just whether equipment is functioning safely today, but whether it continues to meet design, installation, and performance requirements over its entire lifecycle.

Focus Areas of a Comprehensive (Annual) Inspection

This level of inspection includes an in-depth assessment of:

Full Structural Integrity
Examining load-bearing components, joints, posts, anchor systems, welds, and fasteners for deterioration or non-compliance.
Compliance with Australian Standards
Checking equipment, spacing, surfacing, design elements, fall heights, and access/egress points against AS 4685 and AS/NZS 4422 requirements.
Impact-Attenuating Surfacing (IAS) Evaluation
Reviewing installation, depth, condition, drainage, and fall-height suitability; often including IAS depth measurements or critical fall-height testing.
Detailed Wear and Deterioration Analysis
Assessing corrosion, rot, UV degradation, fatigue, component wear, and long-term material breakdown.
Comprehensive Hazard Identification
Investigating entrapments (head, torso, finger, clothing), crush/shear points, entanglement risks, sharp edges, protrusions, and unexpected movement hazards.
Foundations and Sub-Structure Checks
Inspecting concrete footings, ground movement, erosion, and anchoring stability.
Environmental & User-Behaviour Risks
Assessing site layout, shade coverage, access routes, visibility, fencing, and surrounding features that may influence risk.
Documentation & Maintenance Records
Reviewing maintenance logs, installation documentation, past inspection records, and manufacturer instructions to determine ongoing compliance.

Why Comprehensive Inspections Matter

This highest-level inspection ensures playgrounds:

Meet all required Australian Standards
Remain structurally safe and fit for long-term use
Provide a safer environment for children and the community
Help operators demonstrate compliance, due diligence, and risk-management obligations
Identify issues early enough to avoid costly repairs or equipment failure

A Comprehensive Inspection offers the assurance that the entire play space—equipment, surfacing, and environment—has been professionally evaluated for both current and long-term safety.
