The Role
We're looking for a proactive safety professional who thrives on building safe and supportive environments. This role is about more than compliance, it's about embedding a culture where safety is everyone's business and wellbeing is a shared responsibility.

* Lead risk assessments, audits and incident investigations to ensure compliance and continuous improvement.
* Manage the end to end incident and injury management process, including Workers' Compensation claims in VIC and QLD.

* Analyse safety performance data and recommend improvement strategies.
What We're Looking For
* Tertiary qualification in Work Health and Safety or equivalent experience
* Return to Work Coordinator accreditation (essential)
* Strong understanding of WHS legislation and workers compensation schemes in Victoria (WorkSafe VIC is essential)
* Knowledge of Queensland WHS and workers compensation frameworks (WorkCover QLD), or a willingness to gain this knowledge
* Experience in aged care, healthcare or community services (highly desirable)
* Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to coach and influence
* A collaborative, proactive approach with a genuine commitment to wellbeing
Why MiCare?
* Save on tax with generous salary packaging benefits — novated leasing, general living expenses, meal entertainment, holiday accommodation and venue hire.
* Enjoy exclusive perks via our employee wellness portal — access to amazing discounts on everyday items.
* Achieve true work life balance — hybrid working between home and the office, with the flexibility to choose your primary office location (Carrum Downs or Kilsyth).
* Act as a change agent — drive real transformation in a purpose-led organisation.
* Be part of a multicultural, values-led team making a real difference in the community.
* Grow with us — access professional development in a supportive, collaborative environment.
