We offer a range of benefits, including flexible working hours and working at home, to help support you and get the best results possible for our community. We value diversity and appreciate every individual’s perspective, bringing together a diverse and inclusive workforce to drive innovation and success.

The role As the Senior Triage Inspector, you will form part of a dynamic psychosocial regulatory team responsible for regulating and investigating psychosocial hazards in workplaces under the Work Health and Safety framework. The Senior Triage Inspector is a dual-purpose role that combines the assessment and triage of incoming psychosocial matters with the delivery of regulatory inspection and investigation activities. The role is responsible for evaluating notifiable dangerous incidents, serious injuries and diseases, and fatalities reported under the Work Health and Safety Act 2020 to determine the most appropriate regulatory response, ensuring resources are directed to matters of highest risk and regulatory significance. In addition to triage functions, the Senior Triage Inspector conducts inspections and investigations into psychosocial hazards, assessing whether duty holders have identified and controlled risks so far as is reasonably practicable.

You will liaise with industry, government agencies and other stakeholders, conduct initial enquiries, utilise inspector powers where required, and ensure incidents are investigated in a timely manner.

Drawing on your experience in workplace health and safety, compliance, investigations, regulation or a related field, you will play a vital role in supporting effective regulatory oversight, protecting workers and workplaces, and contributing to improved safety outcomes across Western Australia.

Your strong investigative, analytical and decision-making skills, together with your experience in incident assessment, stakeholder management, regulatory compliance, workplace inspections, or enforcement activities, will be key to your success in this role.

You will bring to the team your expertise in incident triage, risk assessment, workplace health and safety legislation, inspections and enforcement, and your ability to make sound judgements in complex situations, communicate effectively with diverse stakeholders, and manage sensitive matters with professionalism and compassion.

You will also contribute to continuous improvement initiatives, mentor less experienced team members, identify emerging workplace safety issues, support policy and legislative development, and foster a positive, collaborative team culture.
