  • Documented policies and procedures (e.g. safety, HR, environmental)
  • Knowledge of relevant legislation and compliance (e.g. Fair Work, modern slavery, ESG)
  • Capability to meet deadlines and reporting obligations
  • Understanding of procurement platforms (ICN, C-Res)

Tips to Improve

  • Conduct a “gap analysis” of your current systems
  • Create a compliance checklist for your business
