Child window safety locks now mandatory in NSW

Laws designed to enhance child safety come into force across NSW today, with window locks now mandatory on strata buildings, Minister for Better Regulation Matt Kean said.

“From today, strata building windows from which a child could fall two metres or more must have child-proof locks,” Mr Kean said.

Mr Kean said property owners and owners’ corporations have had plenty of time to install window locks to ensure their building complies with the law.
