Since our establishment in 2005, QSolutions Group have provided consulting services in health, safety, quality, and environmental management. We have built a strong reputation for delivering high-quality, reliable solutions that help organisations maintain compliance with industry standards and regulations.
Our team of professionals are committed to working closely with clients to understand their unique needs and challenges, providing tailored strategies and support that drive success and compliance across various industries.

Our Journey with Local Buy
First joining Local Buy as a pre-qualified supplier in 2016, our business has not looked back. One of the major contributing factors that we attribute our success to is ‘locals supporting locals’. Being a Local Buy pre-qualified supplier has provided our business with the opportunity to work with a number of councils in our region and fostered ongoing working relationships with key stakeholders.
From first joining in the Business Management Arrangement, QSolutions Group have expanded our services and are now able to offer services under the following:
- LB309 – Business Management Services
- LB312 – Engineering & Environmental
- LB327 – Training Services
- LB328 – People & Wellbeing Services
Working with Local Council
What to say about working with Local Council?……… We love it!
Notwithstanding the challenges we all face, our team have a genuine passion in the work that we do and our ability to work with organisations on improving in their organisational functions, compliance requirements and achieving goals in obtaining certifications and accreditations.
Our team have worked, and continue to work regularly with Carpentaria Shire Council, Etheridge Shire Council and Richmond Shire Council. Most notably for these councils we have worked closely with key representatives within Infrastructure divisions to develop and implement management systems aligned to:
- ISO 9001 Quality Management
- ISO 14001 Environmental Management
- ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management
Supporting council, we have worked to implement processes throughout operations and assisted in achieving certification and accreditations to the following which has allowed council to improve on internal functions, refine operations and open up tenders on larger-scale government funded projects:
- JASANZ ISO (International Organization for Standardization) Certification
- OFSC (Office of the Federal Safety Commissioner) Work Health and Safety Accreditation Scheme
- TMR (Transport and Main Roads) Prequalification
- NHVR (National Heavy Vehicle Regulator) Accreditation Scheme
A commitment from these councils has proven positive in ensuring compliance with industry standards, opened up project opportunities particularly within civil construction and aides in the successful and safe delivery of projects for council.
Following the development, implementation and certification against applicable schemes, we continue to work with councils monthly by supporting the teams in staying up to date with regulatory changes, organisational changes, project compliance and act in the capacity of council’s expert safety representatives.
We look forward to continuing to be able to work, engage and support councils within our region and welcome the opportunity to discuss our capabilities with councils throughout Queensland.
