Making Every Job Safe, Every Day: Why Australian Workplaces Must Have Confidence Beyond Compliance

In a country where nine in 10 workers feel safe at work, a new Avetta research study reveals a troubling truth – many are not as protected as they think. Behind the perception of safety lies a fragmented system of inconsistent risk controls, cultural blind spots, and unverified contractor safety standards.

This study of 518 Australian professionals working in high-risk industries exposes the growing gap between feeling safe and being safe – and what organisations must do to close it.

Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) compliance in Australia is evolving. New legislation, increasing penalties, and expanding enforcement powers are reshaping what it means to protect people at work. Yet, this research shows most organisations still rely on partial or outdated systems, leaving hidden risks unmitigated.


The findings highlight critical truths:

  • Perception ≠ protection: nine in 10 workers feel safe, but only 44% say they have confidence in systems in place.
  • Contractor risk remains hidden: only 35% of workers are very confident their organisation can verify contractor safety standards before work begins.
  • Culture outperforms compliance: leaders focus on frameworks; workers want empowerment, training, and tools.

Download the report to explore how leading Australian organisations are moving beyond compliance to build stronger, safer, and more resilient workplaces.
