Mission Statement

We believe in doing things differently

Southpac Certifications was established to assist organisations and leaders to get the best out of their systems and their people. Our reputation has grown around challenging existing norms and being willing to do things differently – right from the start.

Our focus is on continuous improvement for our client’s long-term success, rather than an annual tick-and-flick approach. All of our experienced auditors are committed to equipping organisations with the knowledge, skills, and tools to create a culture that fosters collaboration between systems, staff, clients, and stakeholders. If it benefits your business, we’re here to help you achieve it.

Value Adding Audits

We focus on continual improvement, becoming a partner in our clients’ long-term success.  Our goal is to add value at every audit, not just tick the boxes. Our auditors help clients understand their systems, so they can get the most out of the certification and improve their business.

Long Term Approach

We know businesses value consistency when it comes to having their management systems audited. We always aim to provide that consistency to our clients, with in-house auditors and experienced, reliable contractors. We take pride in returning to our clients and celebrating their progress, year after year.
