Who we are
Softfall Testing is a family-owned and operated business. Since our inception in 2017, we have conducted a range of inspections for councils, schools, and businesses all over Australia. We believe children are the future of the country and we want to minimise playground risk by inspecting and maintain playgrounds to ensure longevity of playground equipment.
We have over 20 years of experience with playground design, installation, maintenance. Our sister company NT Sports and Playground Surfacing has won multiple awards for design and construction, including the 2018 Kidsafe National Design Award.
Being a 21st century company, we believe in a data driven approach to mitigate risk and ensure safe playgrounds. We have partnered with Playground123, an asset management software tool. This enables us to provide our clients with quick and effective reporting, helping our clients access data quickly and reduce costs.
