FAQs SAFETY CONSULTATION SERVICE
What is a baby proofing safety consultation, and what does it include?
A safety consultation is a comprehensive, in-home walk-through with an experienced baby proofing specialist. Mitchell assesses every room and outdoor area of the home, identifies hazards specific to the child’s developmental stage, and provides clear recommendations with an itemised quote. There is no obligation to proceed with installation, and many families use the consultation to understand priorities and budget before deciding on next steps.
How long does a baby proofing safety consultation take?
A typical consultation takes around 60 to 90 minutes for an average Sydney home. Larger homes, homes with multiple outdoor areas, or homes with multiple children at different developmental stages may take slightly longer. The consultation includes time to discuss findings with the family and answer questions about each recommendation.
Do I need a separate consultation, or can the installation happen on the same visit?
In most cases, the consultation and installation happen in a single visit. Once Mitchell has walked through the home and provided an itemised quote, the family can choose to proceed with the recommended work the same day. Same-week appointments are available across greater Sydney, and most installations are completed on the spot.
Is a safety consultation worthwhile if I’ve already done some baby proofing myself?
Yes, often more so. A consultation identifies the hazards that have been missed, confirms which existing measures are correctly installed and effective, and flags any that may not be doing what they’re intended to. Many families are surprised by how many gaps remain after a thorough DIY effort, particularly in transition zones, outdoor areas, and furniture anchoring.
What credentials should I look for in a baby proofing specialist?
Look for verifiable affiliations with established child safety brands and organisations. First Steps Safe Steps is the Recommended Baby Safety Installer for DreamBaby, an internationally recognised brand sold in over 100 countries, and a partner of Rescueblue, Australia’s leading paediatric first aid provider. These accreditations indicate ongoing training, product knowledge, and accountability to recognised safety standards.
How much does a baby proofing safety consultation cost in Sydney?
Consultation pricing is structured to be accessible, and the cost is typically credited toward any installation work undertaken on the same visit. Itemised quotes are provided before any work begins, so families know exactly what they’re committing to. Contact First Steps Safe Steps directly for current consultation pricing across Greater Sydney.
Can a safety consultation be booked for a rental property?
Yes. Consultations for rental properties cover the same hazards as any other home, with specific attention to non-invasive solutions that don’t risk the bond or breach lease conditions. Where a modification does require landlord consent under NSW tenancy law, Mitchell can advise on the best approach. Many of the most effective baby proofing solutions require no permanent modification at all.
Can a safety consultation cover a daycare or childcare setting?
Yes. Childcare safety consultations follow a different format from residential consultations, with documented outcomes suitable for compliance review. The assessment covers entry points, playrooms, storage areas, outdoor spaces, and other physical environment elements relevant to Australian childcare safety standards. An itemised assessment report is provided.
