It’s proof that the right idea can come from anywhere.

“We have an incredible depth of talent in NSW, however we need to continue to foster, cultivate and grow this pipeline to ensure our industry thrives. Businesses such as Pegasus are at the forefront of nurturing this talent, and the acquisition by Avetta represents an excellent opportunity to build on its success.”

With Pegasus technology, Avetta offers market leading worker competency management, induction and learning management, supplier prequalification, site access and asset management to its solutions.
