Nominations open for 2027 WorkSafe Awards

Now in their 37th year, the annual awards recognise employers, workers and teams that have created health and safety solutions, built safety-first workplace cultures or helped injured workers return to work.

WorkSafe Chief Executive Officer Cathy Henderson said the awards gave Victorian employers and workers an opportunity to showcase their efforts to improve health and safety. "Each year, the WorkSafe Awards recognise those who go above and beyond to protect the people in Victorian workplaces," Ms Henderson said.

"Whether through new technology, updated systems and processes, or even a can-do attitude – if you've taken steps to improve health and safety or return-to-work outcomes, we want to hear from you."

The awards cover psychosocial safety initiatives, innovative safety solutions, dedicated health and safety representatives, and injured workers who have overcome challenges to return to work successfully.

The 2027 program will also include the Agriculture Safety Solution Award, recognising agribusinesses that reduce risks and prevent harm. This includes businesses that operate on farms from time to time or provide services to farms.

All Victorian-based employers and workers are eligible to enter, either by nominating themselves or someone else. Winners will be named at the WorkSafe Awards presentation and dinner on Thursday 25 February 2027.
