ISO & Integrated Management Systems
ISO management systems consulting for Australian organisations
Australian Workplace Strategies provides ISO management systems consulting across ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 14001 (environmental), ISO 45001 (work health and safety) and ISO/IEC 27001 (information security). Work spans gap analysis, system design, documentation, implementation, internal audit support, management review and continual improvement, with a focus on systems that operate day-to-day rather than sit in a binder. AWS is a consultancy, not a certification body: certification decisions are made by an accredited certification body following its own audit.
Our approach
Scope & gap analysis
Confirm the standards in scope, assess current arrangements and identify priority gaps against the relevant ISO requirements.
Design & documentation
Develop fit-for-purpose policies, procedures and records that reflect how the organisation actually operates.
Implementation & training
Embed the system through targeted training, process owners and practical tools — not large binders no one reads.
Audit, review & improve
Internal audit, management review and corrective-action cycles that keep the system audit-ready over time.
Certification support
Preparation for third-party audit, including evidence readiness, auditor liaison support and closing out findings. The certification decision rests with the certification body.
Outcomes
- An integrated management system that is well-documented and audit-ready.
- Clear ownership of obligations, risks, controls and corrective actions.
- Reduced duplication across quality, WHS, environmental and information-security processes.
- Evidence trail that supports certification, internal assurance and board reporting.

Environmental aspects, obligations and controls integrated with operational and risk processes.
ISO 45001
Work Health & Safety Management Systems
WHS management aligned to Australian model laws, including psychosocial hazards and worker consultation.

Integrated, not isolated
Integrated systems, not isolated documents.
Quality, WHS, environmental and information-security management often share the same obligations, risks, controls and assurance evidence. AWS designs systems where those elements live in one place, reducing duplication and conflicting requirements across business units.
Audit readiness
Audit-ready, with continuous improvement built in.
Internal audit programs, management review cadences and corrective-action workflows keep the system current between certification audits — and produce the evidence trail that auditors, regulators and boards expect.
Pair your management system with Strobe GRC for obligations, risk and assurance evidence in one platform.
