About MAEZ | Australian Transport Compliance Advisory

From day one, my mission has been to save one life. After years working in Australian logistics, safety has affected me personally. Leaders have a duty in life to protect those who may not be able to do so themselves; humanity has a responsibility to work together and to help one another. — Matthew Wragg, Founder

That mission shapes every consulting engagement and training session we deliver. We focus on practical, objective actions that stakeholders can accomplish in real-time to reduce critical business risks and protect the people behind every transport task.

Every recommendation we make is grounded in reducing real harm — not just passing an audit.

MAEZ helps Australian transport and supply-chain businesses identify compliance gaps and turn them into practical controls and evidence. Specifically, we help with:

• Chain of Responsibility obligations across every party in the supply chain
• HVNL readiness, including duties that apply to executives, operators, schedulers, consignors, loaders, and consignees
• WHS and transport-safety integration
• NHVAS accreditation support and Safety Management System development
• Training, audit, document control, and corrective-action pathways

Under the Heavy Vehicle National Law, every party in the chain shares responsibility for safety — executives, operators, schedulers, consignors, loaders, and consignees all have duties they must actively discharge. MAEZ helps translate those duties into controls that fit how your business actually operates.

The goal is to find the gaps, fix the system, and prove the controls so that safety is built into how the business runs — not bolted on for audit day.

Since launching MAEZ, our clients have realised significant value — increased revenues, reduction of key risks, mitigation of costly leadership errors and agreements, and enhanced team and workplace performance.

We achieve this through expert facilitation, crucial conversations, and a relentless focus on building safe transport tasks. Our unique focus on practical CoR management drives businesses to change their behaviours and actions so that their teams and colleagues are aligned on safety strategy and tactics in a short amount of time.

We let customer feedback drive our business. Every engagement improves the next one, which is why operators keep coming back when they need honest, practical compliance support.

MAEZ provides the advisory and risk pathway — defining the obligations, controls, and implementation steps. Where software is the right next step, CoRGuard supports the Safety Management System evidence workflow.

CoRGuard is the SaaS platform used when a business needs:

• Structured records and reminders
• Audits and maintenance tracking
• Driver diary checks
• Inductions and corrective actions
• Evidence reporting

Advisory work should leave a practical implementation trail. MAEZ identifies the gaps; CoRGuard helps prove the controls are working day to day. Chain of Responsibility training is delivered separately to connect learning completion back to evidence and follow-up.

This page is useful for anyone who influences a heavy vehicle transport task, including:

• Owner-operators and transport managers
• Executives and senior leaders with due-diligence obligations
• Consignors, consignees, loaders, and schedulers
• Contractors and supply-chain partners
