At ANZUK Group, safety is about more than systems and compliance. It's about making sure our people feel supported, protected and cared for at work.

We're looking for a Work Health & Safety Officer to help us create safer workplaces, support people when incidents occur, and continually improve how we manage health and safety across our business.

It's a hands-on role combining WHS, incident management and injury management, with plenty of opportunity to make a practical difference.

Why Join Us?

The Role
Working closely with our Safety Manager, you'll support the day-to-day delivery and continuous improvement of health and safety across ANZUK. You'll manage workplace incidents and injury cases, support people through recovery and return to work, contribute to our Health & Safety Management System, and help our teams build safer ways of working. Importantly, you won't just respond when something goes wrong. You'll look for trends, identify risks and help turn what we learn into practical improvements.

What You'll Bring
