What we keep moving.

A working safety system has a lot of moving parts. We coordinate, maintain and review them, so nothing goes out of date, gets missed or is left half done.

WHS systems

Policies, procedures and forms kept current.

Risks and controls

Risk assessments, SWMS and workplace controls reviewed.

Actions and registers

Responsibilities assigned, actions tracked and registers kept up to date.

Incidents and hazards

Reports recorded, investigated and followed through.

Training and competency

Licences, inductions, training and competency records organised.

Contractors and clients

Contractor records, prequalification and client requirements looked after.

Workplace reviews

Inspections, management reviews and system checks done on schedule.

WHS updates

Relevant changes tracked and applied where needed.

More than a consultant. More than software.

See how The Safety Dept. compares with the options most businesses reach for.

Typical option What often happens With The Safety Dept.
Templates Documents get downloaded, but someone still has to put them in place and keep them up to date We tailor the system to your business and run it
Safety software The business still needs someone to run it Software is included, and we run it for you
One-off consultant Advice or documents are delivered for one project, then they’re gone We stay involved all year
Internal safety hire Dedicated support, but with salary, recruitment and employment costs An experienced team, without adding to your headcount
Reactive support Help is called in after something goes wrong Registers, actions, reviews and updates kept on top of all year

The Safety Dept. vs other WHS support options.

What it costs to have a safety system built, run and kept current for a year, not just the software it sits in.

The Safety Dept., one fee, everything included Software licence Consultant fees
The Safety Dept.$16,380/yrBaseline
One fee. Software, documents and management included.
A fully managed safety service. We build the system, write the documents, keep the records current and do the ongoing work.
Safety app + WHS consultant$30,000/yrAbout 83% more
$15,000 software licence + $15,000 consultant project.
A safety app gives you the platform, not the safety system. The SWMS, risk assessments, procedures and registers still have to be written by someone, so most businesses end up paying for both.
WHS consultant on retainer$36,000/yrAbout 120% more
$36,000 retainer. Software usually charged separately.
Ongoing advice, but the scope, availability and how much is actually done for you can vary month to month.
Internal safety hire$210,000/yrAbout 1,182% more
Salary and on-costs. One person, one skill set, one set of hours.
Includes superannuation, workers’ compensation, leave, recruitment and employment overheads.

How the comparison is built: the software and consultant figures are indicative published prices, not estimates of your time. The internal hire figure is a typical salary plus on-costs, built from the sources below. The safety app line combines a mid-range WHS software subscription with a typical one-off consultant engagement to write the safety documents the software doesn’t supply, because together they’re what deliver a working system.

Sources: Australian salary data from SEEK (seek.com.au) and the Hays Salary Guide (hays.com.au); superannuation guarantee rate from the Australian Taxation Office (ato.gov.au); workers compensation from icare NSW (icare.nsw.gov.au); WHS and work-related injury cost data from Safe Work Australia (safeworkaustralia.gov.au); software and consultant costs from published provider pricing.

The Safety Dept. figure of $16,380/yr is the Core plan paid annually (12 months in advance), excluding GST. Indicative annual figures in AUD, for comparison only, as at [MONTH YEAR]. The chart is capped at $40k, so the internal hire bar runs beyond it. Please confirm figures against current sources before relying on them.

The difference it makes

What changes when safety is properly looked after?

You get more time, clearer accountability, stronger readiness and more control.

  • Less pressure on management

    We take the safety admin, coordination and follow-up off an already full workload.

    Instead of trying to remember what needs updating, reviewing or chasing, your team has a clear process to follow.

  • Clearer accountability

    Actions are assigned and responsibilities are visible. Important safety tasks have an owner and a due date.

    You can see what’s done, what’s still open and where help is needed.

  • Ready when you’re asked

    Your system and records are easy to find when a client, contractor, tender, auditor or regulator asks for them.

    No more rebuilding everything at the last minute.

  • Experienced safety support

    Senior safety experience on your side, without the cost, recruitment and admin of a full-time safety role.

  • A system that keeps working

    Your safety arrangements are reviewed as your people, plant, projects, clients and work change.
