FAQs

Have questions?
We're here to help.

How frequently do backflow devices require testing?
Most devices require annual testing. High-hazard classifications may require more frequent intervals your water authority determines this at registration.
Who is legally authorised to conduct testing?
Testing must be carried out by a licensed plumber with backflow accreditation. All plumbers in the BCA network hold the required licence.
What happens when a device fails its test?
The device must be repaired or replaced and re-tested before a certificate can be issued. Remediation must be completed within 20 business days.
How do I confirm whether my property has a registered device?
Your water authority holds a register of all testable devices. BCA can confirm registration status and last test date for any property you manage.
Where does BCA operate?
BCA currently operates in Victoria.
What are the consequences of non-compliance?
Non-compliance can result in fines, legal liability, water supply disconnection, and insurance difficulties. Water authorities enforce these requirements actively.
Can BCA help with newly acquired properties?
Yes. When you take on a new property, BCA can confirm whether a backflow device is registered, when it was last tested, and what the compliance status is. We can onboard new properties at any time.
How do I know when my devices are due for testing?
You don't need to. BCA tracks every device across your portfolio and notifies you in advance of each testing cycle. We manage the scheduling proactively so nothing is missed and you are never caught out by a deadline.
