Queensland’s 2023 Work Well Awards winners recognised

Queensland's 2023 Work Well Awards Winners Recognised

Workplace Health and Safety Queensland has revealed the winners of this year's Work Well Awards, celebrating organisations that champion safety and health across their operations.

These awards recognise companies and individuals who have made workplace health and safety a genuine priority, delivering meaningful outcomes for their teams and broader community.

Recognising Excellence in Safety and Health

The nine winners were congratulated by Mental Health Ambassador Hayley Lewis alongside Minister for Industrial Relations, Grace Grace, during a ceremony highlighting Queensland's commitment to safer working environments.

"We thank all our finalists and award winners for their contribution towards our collective goal of inspiring Queenslanders to work well every day and helping those who are injured get back to work safely and quickly," Grace said while presenting the awards.

This year's Work Well Awards attracted more than 100 entries from companies and individuals across Queensland, demonstrating strong engagement from businesses prioritising safety and health outcomes. For readers wanting background on the shortlisted entrants, our earlier coverage of finalists revealed for Queensland's 2023 Work Well Awards offers useful context, as does our report on when Queensland Government's Work Well Awards nominations opened.

Why These Awards Matter for Safety Professionals

For technical professionals in construction, manufacturing, and healthcare, initiatives like these underscore the value of investing in robust safety systems and health services that protect workers long-term.

Organisations seeking to strengthen their own safety and health services should consider comprehensive resources, including compliant documentation and training services tailored to their industry.

• Safety services that reduce workplace incidents and support compliance
• Health services designed to promote employee wellbeing and early intervention
• Resources for building a sustainable safety culture across teams
• Services supporting injury recovery and safe return-to-work pathways

Businesses across Queensland increasingly recognise that quality safety services and health services go hand in hand with productivity and morale. Reliable resources, whether internal programs or external consultancy services, help embed these values into daily operations.

Comparable recognition programs exist across other states—see our coverage of the 2023 WorkSafe Tasmania Awards winners for a national perspective on safety excellence.

Supporting a Culture of Safety Beyond the Awards

Recognition events such as these reinforce why safety services and health services must remain central to workplace planning, not an afterthought.

Companies looking to mark key safety dates or reinforce their commitment to staff wellbeing can also explore our World Day for Safety and Health at Work 2023 promotion, along with related resources supporting national safety observances.
