Our Core Services

A Practical, Staged Approach to Compliance

At Hawkesbury Compliance Advisory, we understand that every small business is at a different stage of its compliance journey. That’s why we offer a staged model of services, allowing clients to choose the level of support that suits their needs and budget — from a simple health check to a full compliance framework.

Stage 1 – WHS Health Check
A short, structured review that benchmarks your business against core WHS and governance requirements. Ideal for SMEs wanting to understand where they currently stand and what actions are needed to meet their obligations.
Stage 2 – Professional Compliance Audit
A detailed, ISO-aligned audit covering your workplace systems, policies, and practices. You’ll receive a professional report outlining gaps, risks, and recommendations for improvement — giving you the clarity to act confidently.
Stage 3 – Full Compliance Framework
Comprehensive support to develop and implement a tailored compliance management system. This includes policies, registers, risk controls, and documentation aligned with ISO 45001 (Safety) and ISO 31000 (Risk Management) standards, and the relevant provisions of the WHS Act 2011 (NSW) and WHS Regulation 2017 (NSW).

Each stage can be engaged independently or progressively, building toward a fully documented and sustainable compliance framework.

Document & Record Management Systems

We design and implement document control and recordkeeping systems to ensure your compliance materials remain current, secure, and easy to maintain — aligned with ISO standards for document management and retention.

Incident & Corrective Action Reviews

We provide independent, systems-based reviews following workplace incidents or non-conformances to identify underlying process issues and recommend corrective actions — helping prevent recurrence and improve safety culture. (Note: this service focuses on compliance and systems improvement, not legal or investigative findings.)

Governance & Policy Support

We help businesses strengthen internal governance through well-structured policies, defined responsibilities, and practical compliance tools. This ensures your business maintains transparency and accountability across all operations.

Ongoing Advisory Support

For clients seeking continuity, we offer ongoing advisory services — providing scheduled compliance reviews, document updates, and access to expert advice as your business grows or regulations change.
