A challenging time for the industry

Never has there been a more exciting or challenging time to be part of the construction industry across Queensland. With billions of dollars of work in the pipeline, there are opportunities to be made. At the same time significant challenges like shortages, cost escalations, and increased regulation are putting pressure on everyone and leading to the highest insolvency rate in seven years according to ASIC.

Helix Compliance is uniquely positioned to help the industry navigate this complex landscape, combining experience across the legal, regulatory and financial sectors with a singular focus on the construction industry.

Compliance Services

A helpful combination of tools and services to support your business

The building and construction industry is one of the most heavily regulated in Queensland, and we're uniquely positioned to help support you in your compliance needs.

Reports

We offer a range of reports including reviews diving into a company’s ownership, credit worthiness, suitability for projects, legal history and more so you can make informed decisions. We also built Diligence by Helix – an online tool for running your own due diligence reports.

Compliance

We can help in a variety of compliance areas, including policy and legislation development, audit responses, advocacy for engaging with regulators and the government, complying with procurement policies, adhering to the Minimum Financial Requirements and more.

Training

Helix Compliance offers a number of online or in-person training programs to help participants meet their regulatory and legal obligations. Our team can work with you to design tailored and specific training to meet the unique needs of your company.

The Statutory Trusts legislation is the biggest disruption I've seen in 35 years in industry. Businesses need to adapt now to get ahead of the game and be ready for these significant changes.
