Supporting WHS Steering Group meetings, including minute taking.

Helping shape and roll out impactful training programs and completing training needs analysis.

Coaching teams and individuals on all things health, safety, and well-being.

Crunching numbers and generating WHS reports that make sense and make a difference.

Contributing to audits, small projects, and always ready to jump in where needed.

What you bring to the table:

A Cert IV in WHS (or strong experience that shows you know your stuff)

A valid SA driver’s licence – because safety doesn’t sit still

Solid knowledge of WHS legislation, risk management, and the knack for applying it practically

Confidence delivering training and handling complex or high-stress situations calmly

A keen eye for documentation, reports, and policy – with solid admin skills to match

Bonus if you’ve worked with injury management or in a self-insured environment
