Victoria's 2027 WorkSafe Awards — nominations open

Now in its 37th year, nominations have opened for Victoria’s annual WorkSafe Awards — spotlighting efforts to reduce workplace harm and improve outcomes for injured workers.

Celebrated through the awards are employers, workers and teams who have fostered a strong safety-first culture, developed creative health and safety solutions and supported injured workers in their return-to-work journey.

“Each year, the WorkSafe Awards recognise those who go above and beyond to protect the people in Victorian workplaces,” WorkSafe Victoria Chief Executive Officer Cathy 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.”

In 2027, the awards will have the following categories:

• Excellence in Preventing and Managing Psychosocial Risk
• Agriculture Safety Solution
• Health and Safety Representative of the Year
• Leading Return to Work Practice
• OHS Leadership/Achievement
• Worker Return to Work Achievement
• Workplace Health and Safety Solution of the Year
   

With entrants able to nominate themselves or another person, nominations are open to all Victorian-based employers and workers until Tuesday, 30 June.

You can submit an entry here.

Winners will be announced at the WorkSafe Awards presentation and dinner on 25 February 2027. For information on recent winners in these awards, click here.
