When handrails are required in Australia

Areas with heights above 1 metre are required to have handrails installed and that is applied for internal and external areas.

The height of the handrail is outlined in the Australian Building code. This is outlined above.

The way the hand railing is affixed to the support structure must be compliant with AS1428. 1-2009

We recommend:

– A 40mm diameter dowl handrail must be fixed to the wall at a minimum of 900mm centres between the supports.

– A 50mm diameter dowel handrail must be fixed on the wall at a minimum of 1200mm centres.
