About the role

They provide constructive feedback to students, identify areas for further development, and contribute to continuous improvement in training delivery.

Assessors work collaboratively with WHS teaching staff and other industry professionals to uphold quality assurance practices, support student progression, and ensure assessments reflect current workplace practices and legislative requirements. This role is ideal for professionals with a strong WHS background who are passionate about education and workforce capability development.
