what people say about us..

Safe Design Australia understands the practical implementation of the legislation as it applies to architects, unlike other training courses or consultants that are specifically WHS experts and not familiar with the architectural design and construction process. We are continuing to work with Safe Design Australia and are pleased to recommend them.

To help us navigate these new requirements we felt we needed the right advice from someone with not only experience in this field but someone who understood the culture of a design practice. The team at Safe Design Australia were the ideal choice. We would recommend Safe Design Australia to anyone looking for a thorough, compliant and legible way of meeting their Work Health and Safety responsibilities.

Kordia Solutions Australia engaged Safe Design Australia to work with our different Project design teams to review and improve our current safety in design(SID) processes, while improving overall awareness by our Designers of their legislative obligations in regard to safety in design under the WHS Act. Our aim was to ensure Kordia’s SID processes were robust, fit for purpose and provided value to our customers by reducing end user safety risks and costs through innovative design. Safe Design Australia team’s expertise and experience helped us refine and align our Safety in Design processes. Their team displayed an excellent understanding of the needs of the business. This was particularly evident in their coaching and training sessions, which displayed a commercially savvy approach to implementation by focusing on simplicity, integration and collaboration.
