Testimonials
“At all times she [Alex] has impressed me, not only with her passion to positively influence WHS culture but
with her professionalism, thoroughness and ability to self-reflect. Alex impresses me with her tenacity, diligence and her ability to network both in rural industry and metropolitan corporate contexts..."
“Alex demonstrates passion and personal integrity for workplace safety, which drives her to ensure her clients are professionally and accurately informed about safety. Alex focuses on providing advice that demonstrates how work place safety can be practically applied based on the individual business. Alex is accepting of other’s views when providing information and advice and she actively seeks out the most relevant, practical advice and information from relevant Regulatory and business sources.”
“Alex’s self-leadership is simply admirable. She is a think global act local kind of person who is driven by passion and who sees the bigger picture when it comes to her work. Her clients are a testament to the value that her passion delivers.
"Alex has worked constructively with people at every level of our organisation. She is purposeful and focussed and uses every opportunity to coach and educate as she unravels issues and identifies opportunities for improvement. Alex is a skilled facilitator and extremely knowledgeable in her field. She has made a very real and valuable contribution to our business.”
“Alex shows energy and passion for her work and maturity to engage and
influence more seasoned colleagues. Her tenacity, diligence, empathy and sense of community are already advanced for someone so young... She is a people person with strong networks - particularly in the regions - and she is always willing to make time to engage.
“I had the pleasure of working with Alex in a very demanding mining environment. Alex had a willingness to challenge how safety was implemented and an eagerness to learn from everyone around her and this was demonstrated in how she got on with all levels of people within the team, the client and the results that were achieved. I have no hesitation in recommending Alex to anyone, or for anything that she puts her mind to achieving.”
“Alex was contracted to deliver a Safety Management System for the 39 vessels of the Spencer Gulf Prawn fleet. Alex’s professionalism ensured that there was no stone left unturned. I was very satisfied with the service Alex gave, because I knew she cared a lot about getting it right and didn’t mind doing the extra yards to ensure that it was up to her lofty standards.”
“I worked with Alex to develop a Work Health and Safety management system for our fishing business. Alex helped us understand what was required and how to go about setting up a system. She was easy to work with and was happy to answer any questions. I would recommend Alex as she made the whole process easier to understand and implement.”
"Alex exceeded our needs and expectations in developing and delivering a functional and easily-adopted framework for a Safety Management System. I would not hesitate to use Alex again or to recommend her expertise to others."
“We attended two Fishing Industry WHS Workshops run by Alex. Alex kept the information and training light and fun throughout the day. Alex was engaging and incredibly passionate about her subject matter. Her background from a rural farming family helped her understand how fishermen ticked. It was a well-run and enjoyable course to attend.”
“We contacted Alex because our WH&S systems were very outdated and needed a complete overhaul. Alex made the process so simple. She was able to break down the legislation into layman’s terms and relate it specifically to our business. She provided training to our Managers and really pushed the importance of WH&S without it being stiff and boring, and in doing so the process was actually fun.
I could not recommend Alex more highly, if your company’s WH&S systems need reviewing and you don’t know where to start, Alex is the person to call. Don’t put it off.”
