This is a high-profile national organisation with a strong sense of purpose and impact across Australia.

They are committed to delivering services that make a difference to the community, while also creating a safe, inclusive, and supportive workplace for their people.

You’ll be joining a professional environment that values collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement.

The Opportunity

This is a fantastic chance to step into a role where your work directly improves the health, safety, and wellbeing of others.

You’ll gain exposure to a wide range of wellbeing and WHS programs, from ergonomic assessments through to early intervention support, while engaging with stakeholders across the organisation.

This role gives you the chance to make a meaningful impact, while also building your career and being part of a supportive and forward-thinking team.

The Role

You will provide support, coordination, and administration functions to ensure WHS and wellbeing initiatives run smoothly.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Manage and coordinate administration activities, reporting, and procurement related to WHS and wellbeing programs
  • Provide secretariat support to the National Health and Safety Committee
  • Monitor and support the WHS Management System and wellbeing initiatives
  • Assist with ergonomic assessments, incident investigations, and follow-up actions
  • Case manage return-to-work cases and provide early intervention support
  • Manage WHS mailboxes and act as a point of contact for WHS enquiries
  • Engage with stakeholders on sensitive matters with professionalism and discretion
  • Support broader HR projects within the Development & Capability team as required

The Ideal Person

You will be someone who thrives in a busy and varied role, with strong organisational and communication skills. You are adaptable and confident juggling competing priorities, while also collaborative and team-oriented. Your ability to exercise sound judgement and provide sensitive advice will be highly valued, as will your commitment to supporting a safe and positive workplace.

If you bring knowledge of WHS and wellbeing legislation (or the ability to quickly learn), along with initiative, professionalism, and a people-focused mindset, you will succeed in this role. This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to further their HR and WHS skills in a supportive, purpose-driven environment.
