Window locks: a national concern

Each year, around 50 children fall from windows or balconies in Australia, which is almost one a week. Here's what owners should know.

Each year, around 50 children fall from windows or balconies in Australia, which is almost one a week. Many of these incidents are preventable with simple safety measures.

Window locks and restrictors that limit how far a window can open are an inexpensive way to dramatically reduce the risk, particularly in upper-storey rooms where children sleep or play.

If you own an investment property, talk to us about window safety. Small, proactive improvements help keep tenants safe and demonstrate genuine care for the people living in your property.
