How much does a WHS safety audit cost in Melbourne?

A single-site WHS compliance audit in Melbourne costs $2,450 + GST at CWT Safety & Advisory. That fixed fee includes the site inspection, a review of your documents, a written report and a corrective action plan. Metropolitan Melbourne and Mornington Peninsula travel is included.

What the audit covers

• Site inspection against the OHS Act 2004 (Vic) and OHS Regulations 2017

• SWMS, risk assessments and procedures checked against the work actually being done

• Contractor and subcontractor compliance

• Licences, training and competency records

• Plant, traffic management, working at height and emergency arrangements

• Psychosocial hazards under the OHS (Psychological Health) Regulations 2025, in effect from 1 December 2025

What you get

A written report that separates findings, non-conformances and observations, backed by evidence. Each corrective action has an owner and a due date, so you can close it out and show a principal contractor, insurer or WorkSafe inspector what you did.

When businesses book an audit

• After a WorkSafe notice or inspector visit

• Before a principal contractor prequalification or tender

• After a failed audit or a knock-back from a head contractor

• Before ISO 45001 certification (a gap analysis starts from $3,800 + GST)

Ongoing support is available through the Compliance Watch retainer, from $1,650 + GST per month.
