About Us - Bertram & Son - Legionella Risk Management

About us

Bertram and Son is the premier, end-to-end hydraulic compliance and asset maintenance partner for Australian aged care providers. Operating across New South Wales (NSW), Queensland (QLD), and the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), we protect vulnerable residents and eliminate compliance risks through specialised water management and plumbing infrastructure solutions.

By combining decades of hands-on technical expertise with our proprietary compliance platform, COMPLYQ, we deliver a seamless, unified solution to facility asset management. Standard clinical software is built for resident care—we build the systems that safeguard the physical infrastructure supporting them.
