Comcare honours outstanding achievements in WHS

A comprehensive Australian Public Service Commission strategy for addressing psychosocial hazards, a program to reduce vehicle dangers for Inland Rail employees, and a proactive intervention program for injured Australia Post personnel are some of the winners of the 2025 Comcare  National Work Health and Safety Awards.

The winners were revealed at a recent event in Canberra that was graced by Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations Amanda Rishworth.

Acting CEO Michael Duke said the awards recognised exemplary efforts by both organisations and individuals to enhance safety in their workplaces.

“It’s essential that we recognise significant efforts to make our workplaces safer and healthier, highlighting best practice and innovation that creates positive impact,” Mr Duke said.

“Importantly, the awards are not only about preventing harm. Initiatives that help workers recover from injury and illness, and achieve safe, fast and durable return to work outcomes, have always been a significant feature.

“Congratulations to the winners and finalists, and the record number of organisations, teams and individuals who provided entries this year. These efforts shine a light on the importance of work health and safety, rehabilitation and return to work.”
