Day 3 wrap-up. From hot laps at The Bend on Day 1, to The Great Debate closing out Day 2, to everything that followed - three days of great speakers, big conversations. Thank you to everyone who joined us in Adelaide. We hope to see you all again in Geelong in 2027!

Day 2 is a wrap! It was a brilliant day - great speakers, great energy, and plenty of ideas worth taking back to the workplace. Now, onto the final day. Let's finish strong!

We kicked off the 2026 National Health and Safety Conference with a brilliant and exhilarating day at The Bend! A big thank you to HSI Donesafe for making it possible. Now we're ready to get proceedings underway for day two!

For the second year in a row, the AIHS National Health & Safety Conference is officially sold out. We are thrilled to be welcoming such a fantastic turnout to Adelaide next week and cannot wait to see you all there. aihsnationalconference.com.a…

This National Volunteer Week, the AIHS is reminding organisations to consider how they support those who give their time, and to ensure volunteers are properly protected in their roles. aihs.org.au/Web/Advocacy-Med…

After years of AIHS advocacy, the Government’s Budget commitment to support free public read-only access to mandatory Australian Standards is an important step. This reform will help reduce unnecessary barriers to the requirements that underpin safe work. aihs.org.au/Web/Web/Advocacy…

Today, the AIHS acknowledges International Nurses Day and recognises the skill, care and contribution of nurses across Australia. But recognition alone is not enough. Safe healthcare cannot be separated from safe work for the people delivering it. aihs.org.au/Web/Advocacy-Med…

AIHS Chair Celia Antonovsky was featured on SBS News as part of national coverage marking Workers’ Memorial Day, reinforcing the importance of treating psychosocial hazards with the same urgency as physical risks in workplace health and safety. #WorkersMemorialDay #IWMD2026

Today, the AIHS joined the Workers’ Memorial Day service in VIC to honour those who have lost their lives because of workplace injury, illness & disease, & to stand alongside families, colleagues & the broader community in remembrance. Every death is one too many. #IWMD2026

For the first time, we’re taking the @OHSBoK Occupational Road Use series around Australia with Chapter breakfasts in Brisbane, Sydney, Adelaide, Melbourne & Perth. Part of our work with @NHVR & our broader work-related road risk work. Places are limited: aihs.org.au/Web/Events/OHS-B…

To recognise International Women’s Day this Sunday, 8 March, the Australian Institute of Health & Safety has released a new position on managing work-related sexual harassment risk. #InternationalWomensDay #IWD2026 aihs.org.au/Web/Advocacy-Med…

We are delighted to welcome our NSW community to the 2026 AIHS NSW Safety Symposium, officially underway this morning at the Sydney Cricket Ground. With the event now sold out, it is fantastic to see such strong engagement from across the profession.

With extreme temperatures affecting workers across construction, logistics, events, agriculture & more, the AIHS is calling for stronger prevention measures to reduce fatigue, heat stress and injury. Our media release outlines what workplaces can do now: aihs.org.au/Web/Advocacy-Med…

The AIHS is calling on the NSW Government to rethink proposed digital work systems legislation and extend consultation with WHS experts. Protecting workers requires a focus on good work design and risk, not treating technology as a standalone hazard. aihs.org.au/Web/Advocacy-Med…

Have you had a chance to look at the finalised program for the upcoming NSW Safety Symposium? The agenda is now locked in, with a full day of practical sessions followed by an end-of-day networking event to connect with peers. Learn more: bit.ly/492JMzK
