WorkSafe ACT Breakfast Industry Series

Starting in 2024, the WorkSafe Industry Breakfast series is an opportunity to raise awareness of important WHS issues across targeted industries.

Each monthly event is attended by 80-150 individuals, with invites sent to PCBUs, workers and industry stakeholders from the targeted industries. The breakfasts are also promoted on our social media, website and direct mailing list. It is free to attend, however to number limitations you must register to secure a place.

The breakfasts are a chance to engage directly with the WHS Commissioner, guest speakers and other industry professionals over a free breakfast.
