A decade of Risk Collective: Growing with our clients
A decade ago, in 2014, after setting up a successful WHS consulting practice for a workplace law firm, I knew it was time for something new. Something that reflected what I believed in: clear advice, genuine partnerships, and practical solutions that made a real difference. I wanted to build a consultancy where clients felt heard, supported, and confident in the advice they received.
And so, with clarity and confidence in what I could offer, I launched what would eventually become Risk Collective.
While we’ve had a number of name changes over the years, our mission and values have remained the same. Today, we are proudly known as Risk Collective, a name that reflects the strength of our partnerships, the collective expertise of our team, and the collaborative approach we take with our clients.
In those early days, it was just me, one-on-one with clients, tackling their health, safety, and workplace culture challenges. The goal was always simple — to be a trusted advisor, someone who understood each client’s unique needs and helped them navigate their challenges with care, clarity, and expertise.
Looking back, I’m incredibly proud of how we’ve grown, not just in size but in the breadth and depth of support we offer. What started as a core focus on Work Health and Safety (WHS) has expanded into a range of services designed to meet the evolving needs of our clients. Today, Risk Collective offers:
Work Health & Safety
Workplace Psychology & Mental Health
Workers' Compensation & Injury Management
HR and People Management Solutions
Employee Assistance Programs
Accredited Training (RTO)
But what matters most isn’t the list of services — it’s the clients we’ve supported and the partnerships we’ve built along the way. We’ve worked alongside large corporations, medium enterprises, and small businesses, customising our approach to identify their unique risk areas and introducing targeted solutions to address them.
Together, we’ve tackled some incredible projects:
Working with businesses to identify risk areas and introduce solutions to mitigate them
Rolling out occupational violence reduction programs in prisons
Managing COVID-19 risks in aged care facilities during the height of the pandemic
Developing psychosocial risk programs for TAFEs and the broader education sector
Providing expert opinions for Health and Safety Regulators in litigation matters
Investigating serious incidents and advising Directors on responding to WHS breaches
Creating compliance strategies, audits, and training tailored to business needs
Reviewing industry guidance material with regulators and making submissions on behalf of industry associations
Designing and delivering innovative training solutions that engage and empower workforces
Helping businesses respond to regulator notices and enforceable undertaking requirements
Every project has been about more than just ticking boxes. It’s been about helping our clients navigate challenges, protect their people, and build stronger workplaces. We’ve walked alongside them, offering practical advice, clear guidance, and support.
Risk Collective is no longer a solo venture. I’ve carefully built a team of experts in their fields who share the same commitment to our clients. They’re professional, pragmatic, and passionate about building genuine relationships. They care about the work they do, the people they help, and the trust they earn.
Our values remain the same as they were on day one:
Professional: Delivering expert solutions with care and efficiency.
Reputable: Earning trust through collaboration and lasting client relationships.
Pragmatic: Offering clear, practical guidance that cuts through complexity.
Consultative: Listening, understanding, and tailoring solutions to each client’s needs.
As we celebrate 10 years, I feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude. To our clients who’ve trusted us with their challenges, who’ve welcomed us into their businesses, and who’ve grown alongside us — thank you. Your success has been our success, and your trust has been the foundation of everything we’ve built.
Here’s to the next chapter — one where we continue to grow, evolve, and support you, every step of the way.
