Smoke Alarm Scheme
The Smoke Alarm Scheme is a Government funded subsidy providing specialised smoke alrams to deaf and hard of hearing community members living in Queensland. 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. To be eligible for the subsidy you must be: deaf or hard of hearing and living in Queensland. The smoke alarm normally sells for $400, but is available to eligible community members for $50, or $20 with a Concession Card. To apply click here or email smokealarms@deafsq.org.au
