Nicole joins the team at ACT Certification with a background in health, but a passion for sustainable building and quality management/control. This passion prompted Nicole to change career direction, and she has spent the last 5 years studying a Bachelor of Construction Management.
Aside from studying and learning the ropes of a Trainee Building Certifier, Nicole spends her down time enjoying her passions of cooking and gardening.

Tegan is our Client Services Officer and she's the first person you will likely speak with when you contact our team for assistance. Tegan supports our team of technical professionals with all things administration, and has the joyful task of managing our inspection booking jigsaw puzzle!
Tegan has a background of working in both the construction and medical industries, and has a real passion for helping to keep the wheels turning for a company in the often unglamorous area of business administration support.
It won’t shock you to know (because Canberra is such a small place), that Tegan, Scott and Alex all went to the same College here in Canberra.
