Nobody has time to read every Code of Practice, the Regulations and the Act, work out which apply, and check they have been applied properly. Tracy Heidrich spent 17 years on the regulator's side of exactly that question as a SafeWork SA Inspector, five of them as a psychosocial inspector. Now Evolve works alongside you.
51 questions across four areas. With Tracy in 45 minutes, or online in fifteen. No obligation.
“Every gap I ever wrote up was fixable. The businesses that fixed them early were the ones I never saw again.”

Read the articleMany growing businesses reach the same point: the obligations keep increasing, managers are doing their best, and safety responsibility is sitting with someone who already has a full-time role.

A dedicated WHS adviser who gets to know your business, helps build your systems and is there when questions or incidents arise.
Review your current safety arrangements, find the gaps that matter and leave with clear priorities for what should happen next. With Tracy, or online in fifteen minutes.

Seventeen years as a SafeWork Inspector, including five years as a psychosocial inspector, taught Tracy what inspectors examine, which gaps matter most and why a document alone rarely answers the real question.
Start with the work. Understand the task, the people and the conditions before recommending controls.
Follow the evidence. Look beyond policies to training, consultation, implementation and whether controls remain effective.
Keep it proportionate. Address what matters without creating a system your business cannot realistically maintain.
Psychosocial hazards are now regulated in every state and territory, and most businesses are unsure what is expected of them. Tracy spent five years as a psychosocial inspector, investigating complaints and reviewing how businesses had handled them. She brings that experience to the table and works through it with you.
What a psychosocial inspector actually looks forLeaders understand the important risks and what is being done about them.
Managers have clearer responsibilities, practical guidance and someone to call.
Workers can see how consultation, reporting and controls operate in practice.
Your records show a functioning system, not simply a collection of templates.
Tell Tracy what is happening in your business, where you feel uncertain and what support you already have. You will talk through the most useful next step, even if that is not an ongoing service.
Not sure what level of support your business actually needs? These are sensible questions to ask first.
A Safety Partner is a work health and safety adviser who works alongside your business on a month-to-month arrangement. At Evolve Safety & Wellbeing that adviser is Tracy Heidrich, a former SafeWork SA Inspector. She works alongside the person who looks after WHS in your business: reviewing what is in place, drafting documents, guiding managers, and answering questions when issues or incidents come up. It suits Australian businesses that need real WHS capability without a full-time safety role.
Yes. Every Australian business, whatever its size or industry, has a duty under WHS law to manage health and safety risks, and regulators expect to see how that is done: written down, in use and kept current. The size of the system should match the work and its risks, not a headcount. For a mid-sized business that usually means clear policies, risk assessments, safe work procedures, worker consultation and incident reporting that you can show an inspector on the day.
For most businesses of this size, a full-time safety role is more than you need. What you do need is a clear owner inside the business and someone to support them. A Safety Partner gives your HR or operations manager that support: a former inspector who works through the requirements with them, drafts documents with them, and helps with the questions as they come up. The decisions stay with the business.
Safety Partner is an affordable monthly rate, set to the size of your business, the risks in the work and the number of sites, and confirmed in a written proposal after the first conversation. It is month to month with four weeks' notice and a 30-day money-back guarantee. It covers a review of your current system, tailored policies and procedures drafted with you, risk assessments and safe work procedures, consultation and reporting arrangements, documents kept current, and unlimited advice whenever something comes up.
No. No reputable adviser can guarantee compliance, because WHS duties always remain with the business as the duty holder. What Evolve provides is experienced advice, practical systems and evidence-based support so your business can meet its obligations and demonstrate that it has.
Yes. Evolve supports businesses across Australia remotely and works to the legislation, regulator guidance and approved Codes of Practice that apply in your state or territory. Site visits can be arranged where they are needed.
