Public Aquatic Facilities are regulated in Victoria by the Public Health and Wellbeing Act 2008 and the Public Health and Wellbeing Regulations 2009 (the regulations). Aquatic facilities are defined in the regulations to include swimming and spa pools with public access.
Part 6 of the regulations outline the minimum requirements pool operators need to comply with to maintain swimming pool water.
To help pool managers operate their pools safely, the Department of Health published the Pool Operator’s Handbook. The handbook provides practical advice and water quality standards for pool managers, as well as protocols for dealing with incidents such as faecal releases into a pool or dealing with pool water that has been contaminated with Cryptosporidium. While these guidelines were written for public aquatic facilities, many of the ideas within the handbook can be applied to all types of pools.
