Original article published by SafeWork SA

SafeWork SA has launched its second strategic plan, outlining the agency’s goals and direction for the next five years.

The 2023–2027 Strategic Plan aims to help SafeWork SA achieve higher standards of work health and safety in South Australia.

Its vision is to make South Australian workplaces safe through trusted and respected regulation and the agency’s core values of professionalism, respect, integrity and service.

To achieve the goal of leading contemporary regulation, SafeWork SA will:

• be the employer of choice for developing a contemporary workforce
• promote the SafeWork SA brand as a trusted and intelligence-led Regulator who works collaboratively across industry
• be a global leader in regulatory compliance theory and practise and work with stakeholders to transfer knowledge into healthy and safe workplaces
• create a mobile workforce and make it easy for people to interact with us.

‘Our Plan sets a clear direction to ensure we are transparent in our objectives, guided in our decisions and accountable to the South Australian community,’ SafeWork SA Executive Director Martyn Campbell said.

‘I am confident the strategic approach outlined in this plan will enable SafeWork SA to achieve higher standards of work health and safety in South Australia, while maintaining the agility to respond to emerging risks.’

The development of a Strategic Plan was among the recommendations of a 2018 evaluation of the practices, policies and procedures of the regulator arm of SafeWork SA conducted by the Hon Bruce Lander QC, Independent Commissioner Against Corruption.

The inaugural Strategic Plan 2019–22 was launched in March 2019.
