Commerce Ballarat, in partnership with BROSH (Ballarat Regional Occupational Safety and Health) group, is pleased to present a special BizNet Breakfast featuring guest speaker Tracey Browne, a nationally recognised leader in Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) policy.
With extensive experience influencing WHS strategy and national policy discussions, Tracey brings a practical and informed perspective on the changing landscape of workplace safety across Australia.
This collaborative breakfast event will explore emerging WHS trends, psychosocial safety, leadership responsibilities, and the evolving policy environment impacting directors, businesses, employers and workplaces.
Designed for business owners, directors, leaders, HR and Safety professionals and industry representatives, the event offers valuable insights alongside the opportunity to connect with fellow professionals from across the Ballarat business community.
Tracey has worked with Australian Industry Group for almost 25 years, as part of the National Work Health and Safety team, which encompasses prevention and workers compensation. Until recently, she has held long-standing Ministerial appointments, representing employers, with Safe Work Australia and the Asbestos and Silica Safety and Eradication Council; these have now been handed over to others as part of her transition to retirement.
She is also involved in consultative arrangements with WHS and workers’ compensation regulators and scheme managers in state/territory jurisdictions. This consultation includes active involvement in formal stakeholder forums in New South Wales and Victoria.
Tracey has an indepth understanding of WHS/OHS and workers’ compensation laws across Australia, which she combines with her industry experience to provide members with practical information and advice about their obligations, to aid compliance and assist businesses to achieve best practice.
Prior to joining Australian Industry Group Tracey had extensive experience in Manufacturing environments with senior roles in Human Resources, Work Health and Safety and Workers’ Compensation Management, including here in Ballarat at John Valves and Bendix Mintex (now FMP).
