01

A review shaped around your business

Every organisation has different employment arrangements, compliance obligations and HR challenges. We tailor our audits to your workforce, operating environment and business priorities.

Whether you need a comprehensive HR compliance review or an assessment of specific areas, we establish a clear scope focused on what matters most to your organisation.

02

Employment compliance & documentation

We review employment contracts, modern award coverage, classifications, workplace policies and relevant employment records to identify potential compliance gaps.

Our assessment considers applicable employment obligations, including the National Employment Standards, and highlights areas requiring attention or further specialist advice.

03

HR processes & workplace practices

Strong HR practices go beyond compliant documentation. We review how your organisation manages recruitment, onboarding, probation, performance, workplace issues and employee separations.

We identify inconsistencies, process gaps and opportunities to strengthen the way employment matters are managed.

04

HR systems & accountability

As organisations grow, HR responsibilities and decision-making can become unclear. We assess how employment matters are managed, documented and escalated.

Our review identifies opportunities to improve management accountability, strengthen HR systems and establish more consistent workplace practices.

05

Clear findings. Practical recommendations.

An HR audit should give you more than a list of compliance concerns. We provide a clear assessment of our findings, identifying priority risks and opportunities for improvement.

You’ll receive practical recommendations and an action plan to guide the next steps. PeopleStart can also assist with implementing agreed improvements.

A CLEAR APPROACH

Review. Prioritise.
Put it into practice.

01

Review current arrangements

We examine employment documentation, systems and practices against the agreed audit scope.

02

Identify and prioritise findings

We explain what the review identifies and prioritise actions by risk, value and practicality.

03

Support implementation

We help translate recommendations into manageable changes, documents and processes.

YOUR QUESTIONS

Before you begin
an HR review.

Is an audit only about compliance?+

No. Compliance matters, but the review also considers whether responsibilities and processes work in practice.

Can it focus on one area?+

Yes. A focused review may cover contracts, policies, onboarding, records or another agreed area.

Will you implement recommendations?+

We can include implementation or agree it as a separate stage after findings are considered.

Can you review a multi-site workforce?+

Yes. We adapt document review, interviews and attendance to the organisation’s locations.
