Evidence-based health promotion designed by clinical practitioners — not lifestyle coaches. Built for the realities of FIFO rosters, remote operations and the health risks of WA's resources workforce.
The Australian workplace wellbeing market is full of programs that look good on a poster and change very little in practice. We take the opposite approach: identify the specific health behaviours and exposures driving cost and harm in your workforce, design targeted interventions, and measure whether they shift the dial.
The best workplace wellbeing programs do three things well. They are evidence-based, drawing on what the public health and behavioural change literature actually shows works. They are operationally feasible, fitting around the realities of the workforce — including FIFO rosters, shift patterns and remote location constraints. And they are measurable, with clear baselines and outcome metrics.
Most programs fail at least two of these. We do not.
Aligned to the new WA Code of Practice on Psychosocial Hazards in the Workplace and ISO 45003. Includes psychosocial risk assessment, control design, leader training, peer-support program design and integration with EAP and clinical referral pathways.
Critical for mining, transport, oil & gas and 24/7 process operations. We design fatigue management plans aligned with industry-leading models, including roster analysis, supervisor training, fatigue risk assessment tools and post-incident fatigue review processes.
Specific programs for FIFO/DIDO workforces addressing the documented elevated risks: musculoskeletal injury, cardiovascular disease, mental health distress, sleep disorders, alcohol misuse and family relationship strain. We design programs that work within the constraints of camp life and short rosters.
Targeted programs around cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, musculoskeletal disorders and obesity — typically the four largest drivers of long-term health cost and absenteeism. Programs are integrated with on-site health screening so participation is measurable.
The strategic layer that ties everything together. We analyse health screen data, absenteeism patterns, claims data and engagement metrics to identify which interventions will actually move your numbers — and which are wasted spend.
Front-line supervisors are the single largest determinant of workplace mental health outcomes — yet rarely trained for the role. We deliver supervisor and manager training in psychological safety, mental health conversations, fatigue conversations and intervention pathways.
The new WA Code of Practice on Psychosocial Hazards has shifted regulatory expectations. Employers now have explicit obligations to identify, assess and control psychosocial hazards — including workload, role conflict, harassment, fatigue, and remote/isolated work. The compliance question has moved from “do we have a wellbeing program?” to “can we demonstrate we have controlled psychosocial risks?”
HSES helps WA employers move from generic wellbeing programs to defensible psychosocial hazard control frameworks that satisfy regulators and genuinely improve workforce outcomes.

Workplace wellbeing is broader: it addresses health behaviours, mental health, fatigue and chronic disease prevention. The two are complementary, and we deliver both as a coordinated program.
Generic wellbeing programs are not directly required, but the WA WHS Act 2020 and the Code of Practice on Psychosocial Hazards now place explicit obligations on employers to identify and control psychosocial risks — which overlaps significantly with what good workplace wellbeing addresses. The shift is from 'nice to have' to 'demonstrably required'.
Yes. FIFO is one of our core focus areas. We have delivered FIFO-specific wellbeing programs across the Pilbara, Goldfields, Mid West and Kimberley, designed to work around camp life, roster patterns and the realities of remote operations.
Through pre/post baseline data on screening biometrics, validated mental health and fatigue screening instruments, absenteeism and presenteeism trends, claims data and direct engagement and feedback. We commit to baseline-and-measure design at the start of every engagement.
No. EAPs (Employee Assistance Programs) are clinical confidential support services — typically delivered by accredited counsellors. We design the workplace framework that sits around the EAP, including referral pathways, leader training, awareness campaigns and integration with broader wellbeing initiatives.
Strategic and operational WHS support — from one-off advice through to retained advisory arrangements for SMEs and project-based operations.
Independent gap analyses against ISO 45001, WHS legislation and client-specific frameworks. Clear, ranked findings — not 80-page PDFs that gather dust.
Tailored SMS development and uplift. Risk registers, safe work procedures, contractor management — built to integrate with your operations.
Whether it's a fresh tender, an audit deadline, a notifiable incident or a long-overdue SMS uplift — we'll respond fast and quote fixed.
