Our Governance Framework
Building Trust Through Transparency
The Hunter Safety Awards exists to recognise, celebrate and advance workplace health and safety excellence across the Hunter Region.
To ensure the integrity, credibility and long-term sustainability of the awards, we've established a governance framework that clearly defines the role each stakeholder plays in shaping the program.
Together, these groups create a balanced and transparent approach that reflects the values of our community.
