Last week, one of our project teams came together for a special presentation, a chance to reflect on our safety culture, learn from one another, and recommit to working safely every day.
We were honoured to welcome Brad Ness OAM, one of Australia's most accomplished Paralympic athletes, as our guest speaker.
Brad was an 18-year-old deckhand working the Fremantle–Rottnest ferry route when his life changed in an instant following a workplace incident. Rather than let that moment define him, he went on to build one of the most extraordinary sporting careers in Australian Paralympic history, captaining the Australian Rollers wheelchair basketball team to Paralympic gold in Beijing and silver in London.
His achievements also included multiple World Championship titles and individual accolades, such as International Wheelchair Basketball Player of the Year.
Brad's story is one that reminds others just how much every decision at work matters. His message was simple: look after yourself and your workmates, speak up when something doesn't feel right, and never leave safety to chance.
Thank you, Brad, for sharing your inspiring journey of courage and resilience. The team has been inspired by your accomplishments and your attitude.
Moments like these strengthen our shared commitment that everyone goes home safe, every day.
