Frequently Asked Questions

1. How long does an HR Healthcheck take?

The timeframe depends on the size of your workforce and the complexity of your HR systems. For small businesses, an HR Healthcheck can often be completed within a few weeks. Larger organisations or businesses with multiple awards, agreements, or complex structures may require additional time to ensure a thorough review aligned with the Fair Work Act and relevant Modern Awards.

No. While Central HR is based in Perth, we provide HR Healthcheck services to businesses across Western Australia and throughout Australia. Much of the assessment can be conducted remotely, including document reviews and consultations.

3. What size business is this suited for?

An HR Healthcheck is suitable for small, medium, and growing businesses, as well as NFPs and larger organisations. It is particularly beneficial for businesses experiencing growth, workforce changes, or wanting reassurance that their HR practices comply with Australian employment legislation.

4. Will you help us fix the issues you find?

Yes. After identifying compliance gaps or risks, we provide clear and practical recommendations. We can also support you in implementing updates to employment contracts, workplace policies, performance management systems, and other HR processes to ensure ongoing compliance.
