Environmental Health Projects

You retain full control, we aren’t interested in taking away or running your service, we simply have access to EHOs who aren’t available for standard contract work. We can assist you with any number of inspections whether is 50 or 5000. We charge you on a per inspection basis with prices agreed prestart. We have our own dedicated OR Project website which allows you full control and visibility of your inspections.

Per inspection work is part of our consultancy division and does not sit under any traditional contingent hiring.

Our combined experience us unrivalled from any of our competition in this space.

Our experience working with the Osborne Richardson team has been exceptional. Their professionalism, reliability, and consistent delivery of high-quality work tailored to our needs has supported our food safety compliance program.

We particularly value their ability to provide access to skilled and qualified professional staff, ensuring every inspection is carried out thoroughly and with expert precision. Their support has been instrumental in helping us meet our legislative requirements with confidence and consistency. We highly recommend their services to any organisation seeking dependable, knowledgeable, and compliant inspection support.

Sandee Paterson, Coordinator Environmental Health Services, Maribyrnong City Council

Before using Osborne Richardson's service, we faced significant challenges in completing a large proportion of our food business, skin penetration, and public swimming pool inspections due to a lack of resources. Osborne Richardson's project approach, which charges per inspection, was an ideal solution for us.

Working with Osborne Richardson's team has been a pleasure. They responded quickly to all my queries and were always professional, efficient, and friendly. Thanks to their efforts, we successfully achieved our project goals. I highly recommend their services to others

Erin Hogan, Acting Coordinator Environmental Services, Strathfield Council

We’ve had an excellent experience working with Osborne Richardson and their pay-per-inspection program. Their team is consistently positive, efficient, and reliable. They engaged with our Councils EHO team to understand our needs, delivered qualified and quality inspectors quickly, which made the entire process smooth from start to finish. The program supported our overall goals and inspection targets and through the integration of experienced EHO’s our inspection standards were upheld. Their professionalism and responsiveness are greatly appreciated.
