Our People

One of the fundamental requirements of the AusSAFE Consulting team, is that each member should have tertiary qualifications in their chosen field of expertise, and possess a high standard of education and understanding in Occupational Health and Safety and Risk Management. Many of our consultants have attained post-graduate qualifications, including Masters and PhDs, in their chosen areas of speciality.

 

We actively encourage and support the continuing professional development of our staff, through enrolment in further education, training courses and attendance and participation at health and safety industry seminars and symposia. Additionally, some of our consultants hold official roles and are actively involved in the management of health and safety professional associations.   

We firmly believe our stringent team requirements ensure we continue to lead the field in our profession and can offer best practice professional Occupational Health and Safety services.
