Certex Countdown: Looking Back on 2022

What a year!  

Settling into a post-pandemic world and a ‘new normal’ has certainly been challenging, but being able to come back into the office and see friends, family, and colleagues in person has also brought much joy.  

Here at Certex, we are proud to look back on this year, reflecting upon and celebrating growth and new opportunities.  

 
 

After each audit, we request feedback from our clients on three key areas: the auditor, audit process, and admin interactions. We also ask them to rate the overall process out of five.  

This year, we averaged

  • 4.75 client satisfaction score out of 5 

We are incredibly proud of our auditors and admin team for their continued passion for business integrity and excellence.  

 
 

Our Managing Director, Dianne Gibert, presented workshops in the Defence Ready Seminar Series – a joint initiative between Hunter Defence, Office of Defence Industry Support (ODIS), Goal Group, and Australian industry and Defence Network (AIDN).  

Dianne ran the course, ‘Defence Industry Collaboration: Power of Many’. The virtual workshop explored collaboration as a business strategy for increasing exposure for products and services in the defence sector. Dianne examined how key relationships and networks can benefit all parties involved. She navigated the complex landscape of negotiations, non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), and other important legal considerations.   

 
 

Early in the year, HealthShare Victoria released their Invitation to Supply (ITS), an opportunity to provide Medical Locum Agency Services in Victoria. The ITS requirements include being certified in HSV & ISO 9001 Quality Management Systems.  

Being highly experienced in recruitment and medical placements, Certex was proud to support many of our clients to respond to this tender and achieve certification in ISO 9001 and HSV. Congratulations to our clients for the achievement. 

 
 

Certex has been very busy giving presentations and attending conferences, both international and domestic.  

  • Certex and Goal Group presented to Engineers Australia on the importance of collaboration in defence and certification in collaboration – ISO 44001.  

  • Certex presented at the 2022 WorkSafe Tasmania Safe Bodies, Safe Minds Conference on ‘Protecting the Worker in Labour Hire Supply Chains’.  

  • We were invited to speak at the 2022 ICMCI Asia Pacific Hub Meeting. Broadcasted globally, Certex presented ‘Engaging Talent to Mitigate Risk and Seize Opportunities’.  

  • Certex attended the 2022 Indo-Pacific International Maritime Exposition. It was great to meet so many others in the defence industry and share insights.  

  • At the 2022 Hunter Defence Conference, Certex was able to connect with industry professionals and showcase how we are helping SMEs supply the defence industry.  

 
 

Certex now provides VEDN Accreditation services! The Victorian Electrical Distribution Networks (VEDN) is a committee of the Victorian Electricity Supply Industry (VESI). This exciting new service allows us to certify civil contractors working in underground electrical infrastructure who are seeking VEDN Accreditation.
