Kitchen

So, you’re running an Airbnb, or maybe thinking about starting one, and you’ve got a lot on your plate—cleaning, marketing, guest communication, managing bookings... It’s easy to let something like fire evacuation diagrams slip down the list of priorities. But if you're running a short-term rental in Australia, these diagrams aren’t just important—they’re legally required. Let’s grab a coffee and chat about why these diagrams matter and how they can make life easier for you and safer for your guests.

Why Fire Evacuation Diagrams Matter for Your Airbnb

You’ve probably stayed in a hotel or Airbnb before and noticed those "You Are Here" maps on the back of the door. That’s a fire evacuation diagram. It’s a simple but crucial tool, especially for guests who are new to the property and wouldn’t know where the nearest exit is if an emergency happened. The clearer you can make things for your guests in an unfamiliar environment, the better.

It’s not just about compliance, though compliance is important. Fire evacuation diagrams are part of your overall guest safety plan. And let’s face it: safety equals peace of mind. Guests feel better when they know you’ve taken steps to protect them.

Are Fire Evacuation Diagrams Legally Required for My Airbnb?

Short answer? YES. If your Airbnb property falls under certain categories of buildings (specifically Class 1b to 9), you’re legally required to have compliant fire evacuation diagrams.

These categories cover a pretty wide range of properties, including guesthouses, short-term rentals, and holiday homes.

Even if your Airbnb doesn’t technically fall under those classifications, having evacuation diagrams is still a good idea. Why? Because it shows guests that you take their safety seriously, which can really help with positive reviews and repeat bookings. Plus, regulations can be tricky in some areas, so it’s always best to err on the side of caution.

This is where I come in! At BlueprintBnB, we specialise in designing and delivering compliant Airbnb fire evacuation diagrams—and fast. Whether you’ve got a detailed floor plan or just a rough sketch, we can work with whatever information you have to create a fully compliant diagram.

Here’s how our process works:

You Provide Property Details: If you’ve got a digital floor plan, great! If not, don't worry—you can send us a hand-drawn sketch, a real estate plan, or even a layout description. Don’t forget to note where your fire extinguishers, exits, and assembly points are.

How Often Do I Need to Update the Diagrams?

Fire evacuation diagrams need to be reviewed once a year and updated whenever there are changes to your property—whether you’ve moved furniture, added a new room, or changed the location of fire safety equipment. Even if nothing’s changed, the diagram’s validity expires after five years, so you’ll need a fresh one at that point.

Does Having a Fire Evacuation Diagram Help My Airbnb Business?

Absolutely. Not only does it keep you on the right side of the law, but it also gives guests confidence in their safety while staying with you. And let’s be real: happy, safe guests leave good reviews, and good reviews mean more bookings.

Guests are increasingly safety-conscious, and providing fire evacuation diagrams can set your Airbnb apart from others. It’s one of those small things that might seem insignificant, but it has a huge impact. When guests know they’re staying somewhere that prioritizes their safety, they’re more likely to recommend it to others

Getting compliant Airbnb fire evacuation diagrams may seem like just another item on your to-do list, but it’s one of the most important steps you can take to protect your guests and your business. Plus, it’s not that complicated—especially when you’ve got experts like us at BlueprintBnB to handle the details for you.

So, if you’re an Airbnb host looking to get your fire evacuation diagrams sorted quickly and correctly, reach out to us. We’re here to help you meet Australian fire safety standards with confidence—and get those diagrams in place fast!
