Queensland residents draws to the attention of the House the urgent need to enhance current pool safety standards and compliance regulations, in order to further reduce the number and incidents of drownings and serious immersion injuries of young Queensland children. 

Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to prioritise the consideration and implementation of a system of mandatory accreditation and annual training in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) for all residential properties where there is a pool, including new builds, existing dwellings and rental properties where there is an existing pool, or pool to be installed. Whilst pool fence regulations are there to save children from outside the pool, the requirement for formal mandatory accreditation in CPR training will enhance the ability to ensure the safety of children once inside the pool.
