Your efforts will directly contribute to a safer, healthier environment for all, from bustling community service hubs to office settings across the country. This is more than a job-it's your chance to make a lasting impact by championing the health and safety of those who support Australia's most vulnerable.

• Support business units in improving safety performance by identifying practical solutions and driving continuous improvement initiatives.
• Contribute to the development of corrective actions following incidents, risk assessments, and compliance activities to ensure safety standards are upheld.
• Oversee incident reporting processes to ensure compliance with regulations, and promote early identification and intervention of safety hazards and incidents.
• Provide expert advice on risk management, including the identification, implementation, and monitoring of effective risk controls, ensuring compliance with relevant legislation and industry standards.
• Collaborate with internal stakeholders to promote a positive safety culture, offering coaching and guidance, as well as developing and delivering WHS training programs.
• Conduct health & safety audits and inspections, identify potential hazards/ risks and report to the WHS & Wellbeing Team Leader.

Requirements for Success

• Minimum Diploma in WHS
• ICAM experience highly desirable
• Cert IV in training highly desirable

• Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills, with the ability to identify risks, implement controls, and support continuous safety improvements.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, able to influence and engage teams while fostering a positive safety culture.
• Experience conducting audits, inspections, and risk assessments, with a focus on developing and monitoring corrective actions.
