    Yep, in Perth it is mandatory to have both a hard wired smoke alarm and RCD installed on all properties prior to them being sold or leased. All houses built after 1994 should have an RCD already, as they became law for newly built homes at this time.

    Don't know about other states though - check your tenancy advice bureau.

    Here's a list of the various rental authorities, Finding the legislation and rules for renting - LJ Hooker
    I'd contact the one in Victoria to confirm what is mandatory and not.
