Services
Workplace consulting services for Australian employers
AWS supports employers through connected workplace advisory, board and executive decision support, compliance review, complex matter coordination, investigations, mediation, psychosocial safety, training, GRC technology and ISO management systems. The areas work together while retaining clear professional boundaries. Employers engage AWS for a defined project when a single matter needs senior handling, and on a retainer when advice, escalation support and system upkeep are needed throughout the year.

How AWS engagements are structured
01—Scoping and governance
Each engagement is scoped against the organisation's risks, stakeholders, records, decision points and implementation requirements.
02—Documented process
AWS works through structured steps, clear records and practical materials that can be reviewed, implemented and evidenced.
03—Ongoing support
Clients may engage AWS for project-based work or retained workplace, WHS, compliance and management-systems support.
Retained Workplace Advisory Support
Retained support for workplace risk and compliance.
Australian Workplace Strategies supports employers through project-based engagements and ongoing monthly retainers. Retained support gives your organisation access to experienced workplace, WHS, employment compliance and management-systems expertise when issues arise and as your obligations evolve.
Retainers can be tailored to the organisation's size, workforce profile and risk environment, with particular experience supporting organisations employing approximately 25 to 500 staff across the public and private sectors.
What retained support typically includes
- Ongoing workplace advisory support
- HR, WHS and integrated management systems guidance
- Policy, procedure and documentation support
- Manager support for conduct, performance and workplace issues
- Compliance reviews, action tracking and implementation support
- Access to Strobe GRC workflows where appropriate
A retained arrangement helps employers manage issues earlier, keep policies and systems current, support managers through difficult workplace matters and maintain a consistent approach to compliance, documentation and risk — without the overhead of a full-time internal specialist team.
