Austrainer is a West Perth-based WHS training provider specialising in psychosocial hazard leadership for the mining industry and general business sector across Western Australia.
Our Story
Austrainer was founded by a WHS professional with deep roots in the Western Australian mining industry. Frustrated by generic, one-size-fits-all training that failed to connect with the realities of shift work, FIFO operations, and the unique demands placed on supervisors and SSEs, we set out to build something different.
Our training starts with the law — WHS Act 2020 (WA), WHS (Mines) Regulations 2022, and Regulations 55A to 55D — and builds outward from there. Every workshop scenario is drawn from real WA workplaces. Every framework is tested against what supervisors actually face.
We believe that when leaders understand the why behind the requirements, they don't just comply — they lead.
Everything is grounded in WHS Act 2020 (WA), Mines Regs 2022, and Regs 55A–55D. No guesswork. No generics.
Real scenarios. Real conversations. Skills that supervisors can use from the moment they leave the room.
Designed specifically for WA mining and general business. Our scenarios, legislation, and examples are local.

Our Approach
We don't deliver death-by-PowerPoint. Every Austrainer course is built around:
Participants understand exactly what WHS Act 2020 and Mines Regs 2022 require — not a watered-down summary.
Workshop scenarios are drawn from actual WA workplace situations. No fabricated corporate case studies.
Maximum 20 participants ensures every person gets facilitated discussion time, not just a seat in the audience.
The 80% pass mark isn't a hoop to jump through — it's evidence that your leaders have the capability.
