making a difference
Assure Consulting.
Founded in 2002 by internationally renowned public health expert Mr Shannon McKiernan, Assure Consulting has grown into the first choice environmental and public health consulting firm that delivers when it matters most.
At Assure Consulting we specialise in providing a broad spectrum of environmental and public health services such as food safety and quality assurance monitoring, environmental compliance, water quality management (drinking and waste water), pest and vector-borne disease management (the management and implementation of integrated mosquito control programs), and local community health services (including capacity building, health testing and monitoring).
At Assure Consulting we understand the importance of creating and maintaining environments which promote good public health. These services are fundamental in limiting the spread of disease. However, in remote, challenging or under-resourced areas, environmental health services maybe non-existent or limited.
We have extensive experience in designing and delivering environmental and public health programs globally, for both government and non-government clients, across all sectors including Food and Hospitality, Health and Beauty, Defence, Mining and Resources, Oil and Gas, Commercial, Residential and Humanitarian organisations.
From providing expert advice in West Africa as part of the global response to the Ebola outbreak through to delivering environmental and public health inspection programs throughout Australia, Assure Consulting is making a difference.
