To be awarded an NSCA Foundation award is a big achievement and we are all very proud of this.”

The NSCA Foundation’s National Safety Awards of Excellence is Australia’s longest running and only truly independent awards, recognising outstanding Work Health and Safety initiatives. Now in their 31st year, these awards continue to celebrate organisations and people that actively promote workplace health and safety as a cornerstone of elite business performance.

Entering the National Safety Awards of Excellence provides an opportunity to showcase and celebrate how your organisation and individuals are leading the charge in providing best practice in health and safety.

Each submission will be independently judged through a formal judging process by a panel of expert assessors. Organisations that have achieved excellence in their field of work by the introduction, development or improvement of health and safety programs, initiatives and/or standards are recognised for their achievements.
