About SmartQMS
Democratising access to top-tier quality expertise.
SmartQMS was born to fill a gap in the market for skilled quality professionals, and the growing demand from startups and small organisations for that expertise. By introducing fractional quality management, we've made specialist quality systems accessible to organisations that previously found them out of reach.
Why we exist
Our mission
Supporting Australian scientific innovation through effective quality management systems.
Improving awareness and knowledge of quality systems within the scientific community.
Leading the quality revolution in the life science industry.
Driving a culture where quality is more than a compliance requirements but a way to make things better.
Our story
From the laboratory to the quality system.
SmartQMS emerged from the vision of Keren Natalia, whose background in biotechnology, medical microbiology, and immunology transitioned into a passion for enhancing quality within the scientific community — creating simple, effective systems that let organisations meet their compliance objectives with ease.
We bring over 20 years of quality management experience in MedTech and Biotech across a wide range of products and services, including orthopaedics, biologics, genomics, and nuclear science.
Today we extend our services across Australia to a diverse portfolio of scientific and medical technology companies. We have established enduring partnerships with top-tier institutions, developing and implementing quality systems for laboratories within the University of New South Wales, the Garvan Institute of Medical Research, and the Telethon Kids Institute.
Through our outreach we are also committed to nurturing the next wave of quality-informed leaders within the science community, providing mentorship and support to foster a future where quality and innovation go hand in hand.
