Mulgrave shire in Northern Australia, has implemented rigidly policed pool safety legislation since 1960; a study of the child drowning profiles therein is reported here to give an estimate of the efficacy of safety legislation. No child has drowned in a fenced pool either in Cairns or in Mulgrave Shires over the 10-year period of the survey.
