Get certified.
Improve your business.
Do Good.
Internationally recognised certification that delivers practical improvements to your organisation, while creating positive impact for the world.
Most people dread their audit. We're changing that.
People take sick days. Teams go quiet. The auditor arrives and everyone just wants it to be over. Somewhere along the way, getting certified became a bit like a root canal.
Founders, José and Talani believed it could feel completely different, so they built A Good Certification Group.
We start every audit the same way: by saying thank you for having us and congratulating you and your team on taking time out of your business to improve it and identify risks. Our auditors are collaborators, here to have real conversations with your team, find what's working and what's not, and leave you with practical recommendations in plain language. Not a 100-page report nobody reads.
And because we believe business can be a force for good, every audit funds our Good Fund, supporting health, community, and environmental initiatives around the world.
Certifications we offer
Six reasons we're
your partner
Internationally recognised
JASANZ and IAF accreditation. Recognised in 100+ countries. Listed on the IAF CertSearch register, giving clients, regulators, and government tenders the proof they need.
Collaborative by design
We look for conformity first. Where there's a gap, we work with your team to close it through practical recommendations in plain language, not a clause-by-clause finding list.
Flexible audits, built around yoU
Stage 1 is usually remote. Stage 2 is scheduled around your team, with asynchronous elements built in wherever possible. We adapt to you, not the other way around.
Consultant, DIY & platform-friendly
We play well with others. GRC platforms, internal consultants or your own internal setup - we fit seamlessly into your existing setup and keep things moving.
You’ll know us by name
From first enquiry to certificate, you'll have a dedicated point of contact at every stage. Our leadership team is hands-on; a member of our senior team attends every opening or closing meeting personally to say g’day. Call us, WhatsApp us, email us. Our door is always open.
People who are invested in your growth
We only work with auditors who are genuinely passionate about improving your business and invested in your business, year after year.
New: ISO/IEC 42001 for Responsible use of AI.
AI is moving fast. Proving you use it responsibly shouldn't be an afterthought.
ISO/IEC 42001 is the world's first international standard for managing artificial intelligence and whether you're building AI or simply using it, it's how you show customers, partners, and regulators that your AI is governed, accountable, and trustworthy.
We're proud to be one of four JASANZ-accredited certification bodies offering accredited ISO/IEC 42001 certification, bringing the same collaborative, plain-language approach we're known for to the newest and most talked-about standard in the world.
The Good Fund
Our purpose is simple: to find the good, back the good, and grow the good.
We give 5% of our revenue through the Australian Communities Foundation to The Good Fund, reinvesting the work we do together into the communities we all live in.
For us, that means advancing good health and wellbeing - lifting health literacy through awareness and education, with a focus on women's and mental health. It means strengthening communities so they can be safe, resilient, and connected; from Indigenous communities to those affected by domestic and family violence. And through our 1% for the Planet commitment, it means funding grassroots organisations tackling our most urgent environmental challenges.
Our vision is to improve the experience for the people we work with and the communities we live in. The Good Fund is how we put that into practice.
When you choose to be Certified with Impact™, you turn a cost of doing business into a genuine force for good - for your organisation, and for someone completely unrelated to your audit.
What our clients say
Certification Oceania were fantastic with our Surveillance audit! A Pleasure to work with, I couldn't recommend them more highly to anyone looking for a certification partner.
I have been working with Certification Oceania/A Good Certification Group for almost four years. My first observation, which remains true today, was that AGCG wish to partner with us to help us improve our business. ISO auditing therefore becomes a vehicle for business improvement, rather than a stand alone "regulatory task." I can recommend AGCG to any business wanting to learn, improve and grow, and who see auditing and certification as an opportunity, not as a threat.
I had a great experience working with Good Certification Group/Certification Oceania to achieve our ISO 14001 and ISO 45001, and maintain our ISO 9001 certifications. Their team was professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with throughout the entire process.They provided clear guidance and practical support, making what can be a complex process feel smooth and well-managed.
We recently completed our ISO 9001 certification with Certification Oceania and had a genuinely positive experience throughout the process. A special mention to our auditor, Niko Tovia, who was exceptional. His approach was not just about compliance, but about helping us truly understand our systems.
Certification Oceania have been so professionally flexible, and able to adjust their auditing arrangements to suit our busy business ramp up. The process of audits is well explained in advance, and they are very genuine in finding and explaining tangible gaps within a Quality Management System that actually drive an improvement your business will grow from.
Jose, and all the team at Certification Oceania, are supportive and customer focused. Actevate will always recommend this company for their dedication to their clients and for making the certification process feel achievable and a lot less daunting.
