HOW CM3 WORKS
What does Cm3 assess?
Cm3 is a contractor prequalification platform many Australian clients use to check contractors before work starts. It assesses whether your business has the systems to manage WHS, insurance and quality. The questions you get depend on your Business Risk Profile, so a business doing high risk work will be asked for more than a low risk service provider.
Documents Cm3 commonly asks for
-
WHS policy and procedures (your WHS manual)
-
SWMS or JSAs for the work you do
-
Insurance certificates of currency
-
Licences and qualifications
-
Training, inspection and maintenance records
Check before you submit
-
Your risk profile matches the work you do
-
Your business name matches on every document
-
Procedures show your own roles and processes
-
Records are genuine, current and dated correctly

HOW TO PREPARE
Six steps to a smoother Cm3 assessment
Check your risk profile
Make sure your Business Risk Profile describes the work you actually do. It decides the questions you get.
List every request
Write down each assessment question and exactly what it asks for, so nothing gets missed.
Find what you already have
Match your current documents and records to each request, and mark the gaps.
Fill the gaps
Add the WHS manual, SWMS or procedures you are missing, then edit them to suit your business.
Brief your team
Talk your workers through the procedures. Cm3 looks for evidence your system is used, not just written.
Keep records for renewal
Keep training, toolbox talk and inspection records as you go. You will need fresh evidence each year.
