If you are bidding on SEQ government or Brisbane 2032-linked packages, prequalification commonly tests whether your system is operating — not whether you own a policy template. Auditors and client representatives typically sample live records across WHS, quality and (where relevant) environmental controls.

What auditors and tender reviewers commonly check

WHS policy & hazard registerCurrent hazard/risk assessments, controls hierarchy and review records
SWMS & high-risk workSite-specific SWMS, consultation/sign-off and worker acknowledgement
Incident & consultationIncident reports, worker consultation records and corrective actions
Document controlControlled procedures, revision history and available-to-use evidence
Internal auditsAudit programme, findings, grading and close-out verification
CAR / NCR close-outAssigned actions, root cause, effectiveness checks and overdue tracking
Training & competencyRole-based training matrix, induction and licence/certificate records
Supplier & contractor WHSApproved suppliers, prequalification and subcontractor monitoring
Insurance & legalCertificates of currency, modern slavery statements where required
Management reviewMinutes, KPIs, improvement decisions and resourcing actions

Missing or outdated records in any of these areas are among the most common reasons subcontractors pass a commercial review but stall at compliance or surveillance audit stage.
