Our Process for Passing Your Certification Audit

The steps we take to help Australian clients pass certification:

Gap Assessment

We tour your facility (or meet virtually) to map product/personnel flows, zoning, and controls. We review documentation and records to identify gaps against HACCP/PC, GMP, SQF or GFSI-aligned standards. You receive a prioritised action plan to hit your audit date.

HACCP and Document Development

We build or refresh your HACCP/PC plan, SOPs/PRPs, forms/logs, version control and records retention—so your team can run the system consistently and generate audit-ready records.

Verification, Pre-Audit and Coaching

For RTE/high-risk areas, we design an environmental monitoring program—zone mapping, swab frequencies, Listeria/Salmonella strategies, trending and corrective actions—keeping evidence ready for auditors.
