Blind cord safety to be mandated in Victorian rentals
The state government is currently consulting on new minimum rental standards that largely target energy efficiency, but also include safety updates.
Currently in Victoria, blinds that have been installed in any property after 2010 must have their cords secured with either a cord guide or cleat and anchored to a wall or structure. Under the new proposals, blind cords in rentals would be required to meet the modern safety standards no matter when they had been installed.
The new regulation would apply to all rental properties from 30 October 2025 with no exemptions.
