Legal Compliance Audits
A Legal Compliance Audit provides independent verification that your organisation is meeting the occupational health, safety and environmental legal requirements applicable to its operations.
Where a NOSA 5-Star audit evaluates the effectiveness of your management system, a Legal Compliance Audit focuses specifically on statutory compliance – identifying gaps against legislation and highlighting areas of potential legal exposure.
This audit provides clarity, accountability and practical direction.
What Is a Legal Compliance Audit?
A Legal Compliance Audit is a structured assessment conducted against applicable legislation, regulations and mandatory standards.
The purpose of the audit is to determine whether your systems, procedures and implementation practices align with legal requirements relevant to your industry and operational scope.
The outcome is an objective evaluation of:
- Your current level of compliance
- Areas of non-conformance
- Potential legal and operational risk
- Required corrective action
- This allows management to prioritise remediation efforts and reduce regulatory exposure.
Applicable Legislation
Depending on the nature of your operations, the audit may include assessment against:
The Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHS Act)
The Mine Health and Safety Act (where applicable)
Relevant environmental legislation
Industry-specific regulations
Documented legal registers and other identified requirements
The audit scope is defined in advance to ensure alignment with your organisational context and risk profile.
Why Conduct a Legal Compliance Audit?
Non-compliance with statutory requirements can result in enforcement action, operational disruption and reputational damage.
A proactive audit enables your organisation to identify deficiencies before they escalate into:
- Improvement or prohibition notices
- Financial penalties
- Increased regulatory scrutiny
- Civil liability exposure
- By identifying gaps early, corrective action can be implemented in a controlled and structured manner.
What You Receive

A detailed audit report outlining findings against applicable legislation
Clear identification of areas of non-compliance
An executive summary suitable for senior management review
Practical recommendations to support corrective action
The audit scope is defined in advance to ensure alignment with your organisational context and risk profile.
