Gate Ready: SWMS for Tradies
Draft your SWMS on site. Get sign-off on your phone.
The SWMS app for Australian tradies. Describe the job, review the suggested hazards and controls, and get your crew to sign on from your phone. Draft it. Sign it. Ready for the gate.
Built around each state and territory's regulator and rules. Works offline. No account needed.
Gate Ready is a drafting tool. It doesn't certify, guarantee or verify compliance, and you're responsible for reviewing every SWMS.
Job
Replace roof sheets, two-storey house
What is a SWMS?
A Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) sets out the high-risk work on a job, the hazards involved and how the risks will be controlled. When one is needed and what it must include vary by state and territory, so always check with your regulator.
Gate Ready helps you draft one and collect sign-on from your crew. It doesn't decide what the law requires of you.
What Gate Ready does
Everything you need to draft, sign and share a SWMS from your phone.
Starts from the job
Describe the job in plain English. Gate Ready picks out likely high-risk work, such as work at height, asbestos or trenching, and asks a few follow-up questions.
Every state and territory
Built around each state and territory's regulator, legislation, fall-height thresholds and high-risk categories, including Victoria's separate OHS regime. Fixed rules decide what applies, not AI. You review and finish the result.
Hazards, controls and PPE
Suggested hazards, controls and PPE, with the reason shown for each PPE item. Change anything to suit the job.
Sign on your phone or on paper
Workers sign on your phone, on a printable wet-signature sheet, or both.
PDF built on your phone
Export a PDF and open it in the share sheet, with a checklist of documents a site or principal contractor may ask for. Keep versioned revisions for each site visit.
Send it to your crew
Send the SWMS by text or email, or share it for reading or for wet signing.
Works offline
Fonts and libraries are built in, so you can draft, sign and export without a signal.
Reminders that help
Reminders on your phone for expiring licences and insurance, unexported signatures and unfinished drafts. You choose the timing.
Your business details
16 trades to choose from, plus your crew, subcontractors, licences and tickets, and insurance certificate of currency details (numbers and expiry only, no files).

Common questions
Is Gate Ready a compliance service?
No. Gate Ready is a drafting tool that helps you prepare a Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) and collect worker sign-on. It doesn't certify, guarantee or verify that a SWMS meets any law, regulator requirement or site requirement. Suggested hazards, controls and PPE are a starting point only, and you're responsible for reviewing and finishing every SWMS.
Does Gate Ready store my signed SWMS?
No. Gate Ready doesn't keep signed copies for you. Once you confirm you've saved or sent the exported PDF, the app clears the signatures from your phone, so your exported copy is the record. Keep it. Job details and drafts stay on your phone so you can revise or reuse them.
Do I need an account?
No. There's no account to create, and Gate Ready has no cloud storage of your SWMS.
What does it cost?
Your first SWMS is free. Then there's a one-month free trial, and after that Gate Ready is $24.99 per month, including GST. It's billed by the App Store or Google Play, and you can cancel any time in your store account.
