About

After managing a bus & coach company for 12 years, Founding Director Michael Williams experienced the persistent difficulties of continuously keeping up with bus compliance obligations. The long term struggle and pressure to satisfy government regulations eventually led Michael to developing a system to make compliance management easy.

Michael was told by an independent auditor that such a compliance management system was “desperately needed by the bus industry”. Thus, Accreditation Manager was born.

Since being officially launched in 2013, Accreditation Manager has:

  • Developed an industry specific app for Android In-Vehicle-Units that has enabled drivers to streamline their duties
  • Built a strong reputation for excellent customer service and support
  • Established itself as a clearing house of ideas within the bus industry

Prior to establishing Sydney Party Bus, Michael was Head Teacher (Electro-technology) at the NSW Department of Technical and Further Education (TAFE).

This set of unique qualifications has made Michael perfectly qualified to establish a software based compliance management system that addresses legal obligations in a practical way and, at the same time, providing valuable feedback and data for bus operators to use in their day-to day decisions.
