Why this course

Training that actually means something.

Legal confidence

Learn what the WHS Act and Regulations require of you, and how to apply it day-to-day.

Real-world relevance

Understand how safety duties, risk controls, and reporting systems actually work in practice.

Designed by experts

Lead author Paul Chivers identified a significant gap — the majority of businesses have no basic understanding of their WHS obligations.

Recognised learning

A strong foundation for those considering a formal qualification such as a Certificate IV in Work Health and Safety.

Quick and impactful

4 short modules. 15 minutes each.

Listen on the move

One tap plays the narrated course continuously through every module, with saved progress and phone or vehicle controls. Module questions and the practical exercise are still required for certification.

Legally meaningful

Evidence of course completion may support WHS due diligence, particularly for Officers and PCBUs, as part of a documented system of compliance.

Content you can trust

Updated every 12 months with refreshed scenarios, legislation updates, and rotated quiz questions.

Built on ISO 31000

Structured around the internationally recognised ISO 31000 risk management process for credible, practical outcomes.

Course content

4 modules. 1 practical exercise.

01

WHS Roles and Responsibilities

Understand the legal duties of PCBUs, Officers, Workers and Others under the WHS Act. Learn how consultation, cooperation, and return-to-work fit into effective WHS practice.

02

Practical Risk Management

Identify hazards, assess risks, and apply the hierarchy of control. Learn to manage psychosocial risks and adapt controls as work changes.

Learning from Incidents

04

WHS Systems That Work

Explore the key components of WHS Management Systems and how they help clarify responsibilities, maintain controls, and align with culture.
