The Safe Work Australia Sponsorship Program (the Program) is an open non-competitive program that takes effect from 1 July 2017 and will run for one year to 30 June 2018, with scope for renewal.

Safe Work Australia is committed to improving work health and safety and workers’ compensation arrangements across Australia. Safe Work Australia provides support through the Program to initiatives of individuals, businesses, government and non-government organisations that align with this commitment. The Program is not a means of self-promotion for Safe Work Australia.

The objectives of this Program are to:

• promote community awareness and knowledge of work health and safety and workers' compensation
• support initiatives aligned with the Australian Work Health and Safety Strategy 2012-2022, and
• highlight other key activities of Safe Work Australia. 

Sponsorship under this Program can include the receipt or provision of goods, services, cash, intellectual property or expertise in return for negotiated benefits. 

Safe Work Australia will not enter into a sponsorship arrangement where we consider there is a real, apparent or potential conflict of interest that may compromise the way Safe Work Australia staff perform their duties, or give the perception of compromise (e.g. sponsoring a business that is a supplier to or is likely to tender for future contracts).

Further, Safe Work Australia will generally not enter into a sponsorship arrangement that we consider has the potential to expose us to risks including, but not limited to:

• where Safe Work Australia considers the sponsorship may give rise to a real or implied endorsement of a commercial product or service
• where Safe Work Australia considers the individual, business or organisation may use the sponsorship to influence government, public policy or for any other purpose detrimental to Safe Work Australia's role or image, or
• where the individual, business or organisation has political objectives or affiliations.

All sponsorships are subject to approval from the Safe Work Australia Chief Executive Officer.

The application form for sponsorships under the Program is available via the 'GO Documents' button.
