The Compliance Workflow: Stay ahead of the rules without the manual chase

Are you still managing compliance manually – chasing certificates, setting reminders and crossing your fingers nothing gets missed?

The Compliance Workflow keeps your agency covered without the constant admin.

From smoke alarms to pool fencing and Healthy Homes obligations, it automates the tasks that keep your properties compliant – and your business protected.

If you’ve read the first two blogs in our workflow series on arrears and lease renewals, you’ll know we’re all about managing by exception, not by spreadsheet.

What is the Compliance Workflow?

The Compliance Workflow helps property managers automate their legal, regulatory and safety tasks – from smoke alarm inspections to pool safety checks and audit trails.

It’s designed to:

• Automatically trigger compliance actions based on lease activity
• Assign tasks to the correct contractor or team member
• Send reminders and track completion
• Store certificates and inspection records in one place
• Auto-send documents to owners and tenants

Instead of relying on manual updates, Console Cloud lets you bulk upload compliance certificates, trigger tasks automatically and keep your timeline tribunal ready.

A day in the life of the Compliance Workflow

Let’s say a new lease starts in Queensland – where smoke alarm inspections are mandatory within 30 days.

Here’s how the workflow plays out:

• ‍Lease is created: Console Cloud instantly generates a smoke alarm compliance task.‍
• Deadline set: The due date is automatically calculated based on legislation.‍
• Task assigned: The system notifies the assigned contractor or property manager.‍
• Reminders sent: Console keeps following up so nothing slips through the cracks.‍
• Certificate uploaded: Once the inspection is complete, the certificate is uploaded to the property record.‍
• Docs sent out: The smoke alarm certificate is emailed to the owner, while any applicable tenant documents (like pool certificates) are automatically shared.

All of it is tracked. All of it is sorted. And you didn’t have to set a single reminder.

How is this different from what you’re using now?

While others rely on integrations or reminders, Console Cloud actually automates the process – from start to send.

What this looks like in action

This workflow supports compliance across various regions and requirements:

• ‍QLD: Smoke alarms must be checked within30 days of lease start – Console Cloud handles the entire workflow.‍
• VIC: Smoke alarm compliance and documentation can be triggered automatically.‍
• NZ: Healthy Home checks and certificates can follow a similar automated path.‍
• Nationally: Pool safety, electrical checks and gas certifications can be built in your default workflows and rules.

Key benefits of the Compliance Workflow

• Protect your agency with a clear audit trail
• Avoid fines and tribunal issues by staying on top of regulations
• Keep contractors accountable with automated task assignment and follow-ups
• Store all certificates and reports in one place
• Send documents to owners and tenants without manual effort
