WHS culture doesn’t live in a policy.It lives in the people who show up every day and make it real.
As we wrap up 2025 and prepare for the 10-Year Anniversary of the Hunter Safety Awards, we want to spotlight the change-makers, the individuals and teams who are shaping safety culture across the Hunter.
It’s the team member who championed mental health conversations.The new leader who shifted how people talk about risk.The WHS pro who made reporting feel safe and stigma-free.The business that invested in wellbeing because it was the right thing to do.
If that’s you (or someone you work with) it’s time to share your story.
