An Accredited Practitioner (Fire Safety) (APFS) is a person who does certain specialist fire safety assessments required by the Regulation.

APFSs are covered by an accreditation scheme. The Australian Government approved the Fire Protection Association Australia (FPAA) accreditation scheme in July 2020.

A list of APFSs can be found on the Fire Safety Assessment Register. You can also search the register to check that your APFS has accreditation to endorse all of the fire safety measures listed on the Fire Safety Schedule.
