Safe Work Australia Seeks Stakeholder Feedback on National Safe Work Month 2023

Safe Work Australia is conducting a survey about themes and topics for National Safe Work Month 2023. Australia's federal safety agency encourages workers and employers to spend a few minutes answering questions that will shape this year's health and safety messaging.

What the Survey Covers

"This year, we are seeking your thoughts on the 2023 campaign, including the theme, topics you'd like included and what resources you would find useful," Safe Work Australia said.

"Please take a couple of minutes to answer 5 questions about how we can make National Safe Work Month relevant for you and your organisation."

Stakeholders across construction, manufacturing and healthcare sectors rely on these annual campaigns to reinforce workplace safety practices and manage risk effectively. Feedback gathered through this survey helps ensure resources released later in the year address genuine industry needs rather than generic guidance.

Why Stakeholder Input Matters

Safety professionals often understand risk exposure on the ground better than any centralised agency. By seeking direct input, Safe Work Australia aims to build a campaign grounded in practical experience rather than assumption.

This approach aligns with broader workplace health and safety principles published by government regulators, where consultation with workers forms a core requirement for managing risk. Organisations that previously engaged with campaigns such as those outlined in our National Safe Work Month 2023 theme announcement may find this survey a useful opportunity to influence future direction.

How to Participate

• Answer 5 short questions about campaign themes and topics
• Suggest resources that would benefit your organisation
• Share views before the survey closes on Friday, 10 March 2023

Preparing for National Safe Work Month

Employers reviewing safety documentation ahead of the campaign should ensure procedures reflect current risk controls. Reviewing existing safe work resources, such as a Rigging Safe Work Procedure, can support broader safety month initiatives across high-risk industries.

Safe Work Australia's ongoing engagement with stakeholders reflects a commitment to practical, evidence-informed safety outcomes.
