OCTFOLIO - Made for ALS Limited
For State & Territory Education Departments

The asbestos management platform already deployed across Australian education departments.

Managing asbestos across schools at scale requires more than paper, PDFs, or disconnected systems. Octfolio is a purpose-built asbestos management platform, providing a single, live source of truth across every school, every site, and every contractor interaction. Trusted by Tasmania DECYP and the NT Department of Education to improve visibility, consistency, and compliance across thousands of assets.

Risk

Enable asbestos risk profiling

Understand asbestos risk across each site and the broader portfolio, enabling consistent and proactive management.

Live dashboards surface high-risk assets automatically, supporting proactive surveys and removal.

Risk profiling aligned to the National Guide for Asbestos Surveys and built directly into the platform.

Insights support more accurate planning, budgeting, and long-term risk reduction.

Tasmania and Northern Territory education departments made the switch. Here's what happened.

Both started with the same problem: fragmented registers, dispersed sites, and asbestos compliance held together by paper and manual process. Both are now on the other side of it.

Before Octfolio

Each site managed its own hard-copy register, creating inconsistent records, delayed access, and elevated risk.

A hybrid operating model, with central oversight and decentralised maintenance across schools, made consistent asbestos management difficult to enforce.

As a result, practices varied across contractors, staff, and volunteers, with limited visibility into what was happening on site.

No reliable way to confirm registers were being accessed before work began, particularly across remote sites.

Risk was managed site-by-site, with no central view or consistent framework across the portfolio.

After Octfolio

School enquiries resolved in minutes, not days

Facilities teams access the same up-to-date register as schools and contractors, eliminating delays and manual follow-up.

Full audit trail of access and activity

System logs show who accessed what information, and when, providing a clear and defensible record during audits or reviews.

Improved planning and cost certainty

Risk is identified earlier in project planning, reducing unexpected findings and improving budget accuracy.

Stronger, demonstrable WHS compliance

Centralised, current records and traceable access create a clear evidence base for compliance across the portfolio, protecting employees, contractors, and the communities around their schools.

Used by organisations managing complex asset portfolios.

Trusted by government departments, councils, energy providers, and enterprise organisations across Australia and New Zealand.

Questions teams ask before implementation.

From government and education teams evaluating hazardous material management digital platforms at scale.

Octfolio currently manages 145,000+ assets and 1.7 million compliance records across government portfolios. Both existing education department deployments involved statewide rollouts across dispersed sites, including rural and remote locations. Whether your portfolio is 200 schools or 2,200, the platform is built for this scale.
Yes. Octfolio's risk assessment framework is aligned to the Asbestos and Silica Safety and Eradication Agency's National Guide for Asbestos Surveys risk profiling algorithm, including data model mapping across assets. This ensures consistent risk profiling regardless of which state or territory you operate in.
Octfolio has demonstrated data migration capability with government customers, including end-to-end migration from spreadsheets, PDF reports, legacy systems or mixed formats. We ensure a smooth, accurate transition with minimal disruption, whether you are consolidating multiple systems or modernising old registers.
Octfolio is hosted on Microsoft Azure in Australia, with no offshore storage of government or personal information. Enterprise-grade security and access controls across the full platform, already meeting the requirements of two state and territory government education departments, and other government and enterprise customers.
Implementation timelines depend on portfolio size, data readiness, and rollout approach, but Octfolio is already deployed across large, distributed education portfolios, so implementation does not start from a blank slate. The platform is purpose-built, with core data structures, workflows, and risk profiling already in place. Organisations are rolling out an existing system, not building one, enabling delivery within tight timeframes while still allowing customisations to align with specific organisational requirements. Rollout is delivered in stages, allowing priority sites and requirements to be addressed early while building toward full portfolio coverage.
Evaluation typically starts with a demo, giving your team a clear view of how the platform aligns to your requirements across centralised data, contractor management, and risk profiling, before any formal procurement steps are taken. Octfolio is part of ALS Limited, with established procurement pathways available to support government organisations across Australia. The team can work with your evaluation process and timeline from the outset. Book a demo to get started.
