Who we are

A boutique energy regulatory consultancy whose specialists all have deep experience in regulatory compliance in the energy industry, backed by our sister law firm, Law Quarter.

Founded in 2017, Compliance Quarter works with energy retailers, embedded network operators and exempt sellers across every Australian jurisdiction. We build and run the compliance systems that let energy businesses grow with confidence: obligations registers, compliance frameworks, training programs and the regulatory intelligence tools that keep them current.

We are deliberately small. Our experts deliver work that is usually the preserve of much larger firms by leveraging technology that we have invested in and built ourselves. Titan Pro, our AI regulatory intelligence platform, and Guardian, our call compliance platform, are built in-house and funded entirely from operating revenue.

Know

Obligations registers, regulatory updates, change analysis and horizon scanning. Every obligation mapped to its instrument, penalty and owner.

Embed

Policies, procedures, controls, training and compliance committees that turn obligations into everyday operational behaviour.

Prove

Monitoring, call reviews, performance reporting validation, audits and board reporting that stand up to regulator scrutiny.

Titan Pro and Guardian compress days of regulatory research and review into minutes, with every answer cited to the underlying rules.

What we do

Four service pillars, from your first licence application to full-coverage compliance technology.

Retail Authorisations & Licences

A proven track record of assisting new entrant retailers to secure authorisations and licences.
  • Guidance through the whole application process: policies, procedures, business plans and compliance management
  • Extensive industry experience and reliable support to achieve your energy retail goals
  • A smooth application process, managed through to decision

Compliance Manager, Concierge & Insights

An experienced, independent compliance resource, available when and where you need it.
  • Compliance Manager: supports your internal team as an experienced, independent resource
  • Compliance Concierge: answers regulatory questions and guides senior compliance managers
  • Compliance Insights: regulatory updates setting out the impact of each change on your business

Audit & Assurance Reviews

Confidence that your compliance program is operating effectively and your regulatory risks are minimised.
  • Ongoing assurance reviews that keep you ahead of regulatory requirements
  • Insights and recommendations that strengthen your compliance program
  • The right policies, procedures and training programs in place to mitigate risk

Technology Solutions

AI-powered platforms that streamline your compliance program.
  • Titan Pro answers regulatory questions, analyses regulatory change and drafts documents
  • Guardian checks every customer call against the obligations that matter
  • Action tracking and reporting that keeps your program audit-ready

Who we help

From your first application to mature multi-jurisdiction operations, we support energy businesses at every stage.
Energy retailers

Energy retailers

Authorised retailers carry big-retailer obligations, often without big-retailer compliance headcount. That is the gap we fill: from authorisation to audit.

  • Retailer authorisation, prepared and managed end to end
  • Compliance retainers with committee support and monthly regulatory updates
  • Performance reporting support and validation before submission
  • Obligations registers mapped to instrument, penalty, controls and owners

We act for operators across shopping centres, apartment complexes, retirement villages, land lease communities, caravan parks and commercial precincts.

  • Exemptions and approvals, including individual exemption applications to the AER
  • Maximum price compliance reviewed against each state regime
  • Victorian GEO registrations and licence class advice
  • Site-by-site assessments for new acquisitions
