WHERE PQM IS AT
New practice, long experience.
PQM opened in 2026. It is led by its principal, who has held the positions himself over thirty years in Western Australian mining and leads every engagement, and it employs and places experienced statutory professionals as its roster grows. Statutory cover and drill and blast engineering are offered now. The free learning, the law book and the diary and inspection companion are in pilot: complete and in use, still being improved from what people tell us, and free throughout.
WHERE WE ARE
Western Australia, start to finish.
Based in Western Australia and working across the state's mines and quarries, from the Pilbara to the Goldfields and the Mid West. Use the request form and tick "Call me"; we will.
WHAT WE PROMISE
Four things we keep.
- Free learning stays free. The law book is open to everyone; a free account keeps your progress.
- Your records are yours. Export them any time; locked records stay locked; we do not sell or share your data.
- Plain language, with the provision cited. Where we summarise, we show the source and its review status.
- No pressure. No streak shaming, no countdowns, no surprise renewals, and no use of your learning to push you toward work.
OUR APPROACH
Clear sources. Clear limits.
We distinguish legislation, official guidance and practical prompts. Source dates and review status stay visible. We do not claim regulator endorsement, guarantee an exam pass, issue certificates or make mine appointments.
PQM is a new business built on thirty years in the industry. Every engagement is led personally; role summaries carry their review status; learning accounts are set up by a person.
