Environmental Health Consultancy & Support for Local Government

You deal directly with me, Kim Hansson, Principal Environmental Health Consultant (BHlthSc Environmental Health, ECU; MEHA).

EnviroHealth Solutions is a principal-led consultancy providing professional, responsive and risk-based Environmental Health support to Western Australian Local Governments. Clients deal directly with an experienced Environmental Health professional from initial engagement through to delivery, providing continuity, accountability and practical advice aligned with Council priorities, statutory responsibilities and community needs.

With experience across metropolitan and regional Local Government, EnviroHealth Solutions provides flexible support across core Environmental Health functions, including assessments, statutory inspections, investigation, monitoring, regulatory advice, compliance and enforcement, reporting and public health planning. Services can be tailored to support long-term and short-term capacity requirements, workload pressures, specific projects, public health planning, complex investigations or emerging Environmental Health risks.
