Safe Work Australia Sponsorship Program
The Safe Work Australia Sponsorship Program (the Program) is an open non-competitive program that takes effect from 1 July 2018 and will run for one year to 30 June 2019, with scope for renewal.
We are committed to improving work health and safety and workers' compensation arrangements across Australia and providing support through the Program to the initiatives of individuals, businesses, government and non-government organisations that align with this commitment.
The aims of this Program are to:
- increase community awareness and knowledge of WHS and workers' compensation
- build our profile as the national policy body for WHS and workers' compensation
- build relationships with key influencers and national bodies, and
- support priority areas and industries listed in the Australian WHS Strategy 2012-2022.
Sponsorship under this Program can include the receipt or provision of goods, services, cash, intellectual property or expertise in return for negotiated benefits.
We will not enter into a sponsorship arrangement where we consider there is a real, apparent or potential conflict of interest that may compromise the way our staff perform their duties, or give the perception of compromise (e.g. sponsoring a business that is a supplier to, or is likely to tender for, future contracts).
Further, we will not enter into a sponsorship arrangement that we consider has the potential to expose us to risks including, but not limited to:
- where we consider there is a real or apparent conflict of interest
- where we consider the sponsorship may give rise to a real or implied endorsement of a commercial product or service, or
- where we consider the individual, business or organisation may use the sponsorship for a purpose detrimental to our role or image.
All applications for sponsorship are subject to approval by our Chief Executive Officer.
The application form is available via the 'GO Documents' button.
Please send completed applications for sponsorship to grants@swa.gov.au
