Expert guidance for Australian transport and supply-chain businesses
Within the complexities of Australia's supply chain landscape, expert guidance isn't just a luxury — it's a necessity for ensuring safety, compliance, and operational success.
At MAEZ, we are your dedicated ally, guiding your business through the nuanced labyrinth of the Chain of Responsibility. Our expertise spans the essential components of CoR, from bespoke training courses and strategic management plans to meticulously crafted documents and resilient safety systems.
As your trusted partner, MAEZ embodies the commitment to meet and exceed your expectations. By managing every project internally, we ensure that each deliverable aligns with your unique objectives, is accomplished within your timeline, and remains faithful to your budgetary considerations.
The MAEZ promise: hands-on expert stewardship
No outsourcing, no shortcuts — the consultant who scopes your project delivers it
We take immense pride in our promise that the consultant orchestrating your project manages it firsthand. At MAEZ, quality is non-negotiable, and no task, irrespective of scale, is outsourced.
We understand the value of trust and hands-on involvement. That means the person who understands your operation steers your project to successful fruition — from initial risk review through to practical CoR consulting outcomes.
This approach ensures continuity, accountability, and advice that reflects how your transport business actually runs.
A legacy of leadership and commercial pragmatism
Matthew Wragg, Principal Consultant
Matthew Wragg, MAEZ's principal consultant, brings a wealth of experience from his tenure in senior management roles within premier Australian corporations, including CSR, Linfox, Salmat, and Harris Scarfe.
His approach marries an acute awareness of transport safety with an essential dose of commercial realism, ensuring every project balances safety imperatives with pragmatic business sense.
Why that background matters
- Senior operational experience inside large-scale logistics and manufacturing businesses
- First-hand understanding of the pressure consignors, loaders, and operators face day to day
- A commitment to recommendations that are meaningful, actionable, and financially reasonable
Tackling CoR with critical insight, not blanket measures
Tailored strategies that fit your logistical fingerprint
We've heard the horror stories — CoR consultants advocating for excessive measures that overwhelm practicality and budget. This is where MAEZ diverges, offering a more enlightened path.
Our strategies are tailored to your unique logistical fingerprint, ensuring every recommendation is meaningful, actionable, and financially reasonable.
Work with MAEZ and ensure your CoR consultancy remains true to your business ethos — safe and compliant, but also honed for financial feasibility within your supply chain.
For teams needing to build CoR knowledge before engaging advisory work, see our Chain of Responsibility course and our guide to CoR training for executives and managers.
How MAEZ helps transport businesses today
From advisory to evidence — a practical implementation pathway
MAEZ helps Australian businesses turn Chain of Responsibility, HVNL, WHS, transport safety, and chartered risk obligations into practical training, advisory, audit, and implementation pathways.
We help transport operators deal with the compliance risk they already know is there — getting the Safety Management System in order, protecting NHVAS accreditation, reducing fine exposure, and connecting training, evidence, and workflows where software is needed.
What MAEZ works through with you
- Find — identify what is exposed before an auditor or regulator does
- Fix — build SMS controls around how the transport business actually runs
- Prove — use structured records, reminders, diaries, audits, and evidence where needed
Where software is the right next step, CoRGuard supports the evidence workflow for records, fatigue and driver diary checks, maintenance, audits, document control, inductions, corrective actions, and evidence review.
If you're preparing for upcoming regulatory change, our HVNL 2026 readiness guide is a practical starting point.
