NCC and Access compliance for UNSW HTH through a proactive and collaborative certification process.
MBC Group
MBC Group played a critical compliance role in the delivery of the UNSW Health Translation Hub (HTH). Engaged by Hansen Yuncken, MBC Group acted as Crown Certifier and consultant for both NCC and Accessibility compliance.
“Our responsibilities spanned the entire compliance lifecycle, from early design reviews through to construction certification and occupancy,” said Joel Lewis, Project Director MBC Group. “Given the complexity of HTH, we applied a proactive and collaborative model focused on risk prevention and early intervention.”
“We participated in regular compliance workshops and issue resolution forums, bringing a practical and solutions-focused mindset to resolving regulatory challenges. Our trusted relationships and clear communication channels with Health Infrastructure NSW and UNSW helped us secure early support of alternative compliance pathways, ultimately de-risking approval and ensuring program success”
MBC Group also maintained a live compliance risk register and worked closely with key stakeholders, UNSW, Health Infrastructure NSW, Plenary Health, Architectus, and Hansen Yuncken, to align code interpretation with the project’s innovative vision.
“As a conduit between all parties, we helped bridge the gap between innovation and regulation,” Joel said. “Our collaborative workshops and issue resolution forums ensured performance solutions received early buy-in.”
MBC Group’s ISO-certified quality systems underpinned document control, audit trails, and certification throughout construction. The team also led site inspections and advised on post-occupancy fire safety and accessibility protocols.
“HTH reflects our commitment to future-ready, high-functioning spaces,” said Joel. “We’re proud to have supported UNSW and Hansen Yuncken in delivering a world-class translational health hub.”
