If the service provider is part of The Australian Fire Protection Association http://www.fpaa.com.au you can report them there, they may investigate or at least assist.
A building built in 1981 does not have to comply to a Standard from 2015, in this case I believe you have been ill advised. It is advisable to always get a third party opinion before entrusting a service provider
In general Australian Standards and fire legislation is not retrospective, therefor the latest Standards do not apply. A building and the fire safety installation within the building need to comply with the Australian Standard applicable on the day of approval. These installation may require to be updated when significant renovations take place, however this would be part of a building approval.
