One housing label is not enough.
Confirm the premises type and relevant records. A co-living home, share house and registered rooming house are not automatically the same.

The right brief begins with the right property context.
Due checks need planning.
Bring previous check dates and available reports so the work can be scoped against the actual requirements.
Findings need follow-through.

How often are rooming-house gas and electrical checks required?
Consumer Affairs Victoria states that rooming-house gas checks are required every two years and electrical checks at least every two years. The work and records must meet the requirements applying to the premises.
Does a trade visit certify the whole property?
No. Each check or repair has a defined scope. Do not treat a service visit as whole-property certification or proof that every obligation has been satisfied.
Can the same plan be used for a SIL home?
Not without checking its actual property and operating arrangements. Supported Independent Living describes support, not a rooming-house classification.
