Servicing all of Australia
Canberra WHS and safety consultants — compliance auditing, safety management systems and ISO 45001 readiness across government contractors, construction, defence-industry, ICT and professional services.
Private businesses in the ACT operate under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (ACT), regulated by WorkSafe ACT. Commonwealth agencies and some licensed self-insurers are covered instead by the Commonwealth Work Health and Safety Act 2011, regulated by Comcare.
Spire Safety is an Australian WHS consultancy delivering WHS compliance auditing, safety management systems, ISO 9001 / 14001 / 45001 readiness and general WHS consulting to Canberra and the wider ACT. We work with operators across the Parliamentary Triangle and Barton, Civic and City West, the Fyshwick and Hume light-industrial estates, the Molonglo Valley and Gungahlin civil-construction corridors, Canberra Airport freight, and the Woden and Belconnen town-centre redevelopments.
We're Brisbane-based and deliver Canberra work remote-first — most of the job (systems build, documentation, audit prep, review) happens offsite, with on-site time scoped only where it genuinely adds value: mobilisation, walk-throughs, internal audits and close-out. It keeps travel costs proportionate to the work and gets you a fixed price for the deliverable rather than an open-ended day-rate on the road.
Every Canberra engagement is led by a senior consultant. You speak directly with the person scoping the work, writing the report and presenting the findings — not handed off after the proposal is signed.
Independent audits against the WHS Act, Regulations and Codes of Practice — with a written report you can act on.
Practical safety management systems built around your operation — not template dumps.
Readiness for ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 — gap review, documentation and audit support.
General WHS advisory, incident support and project-based safety help — on-site or remote.
ISO 45001 implementation, certification readiness and audit preparation support.
A short walkthrough of how our independent WHS compliance audits are scoped, run and reported for Australian Capital Territory operations.
Canberra engagements are led by Nathan Owen — 15 years across WHS and HSEQ, postgraduate qualifications in WHS and business, and a tertiary teaching background that shows up in how findings are written and presented — alongside Tanya Protasova, who brings 10 years across construction and engineering and specialises in AS/ISO-aligned management systems..
Australia-wide clients we've worked with include Red Hat, alongside Australian Energy Market Operator (Canberra office), Greyhound Australia, Total Tools, Bluecare, Shapland Swim Schools, St Barbara.
We don't publish a full client list — most engagements involve confidential documentation and findings.
