Servicing all of Australia
Newcastle WHS and safety consultants — compliance auditing, safety management systems and ISO 45001 readiness across port and bulk-handling, rail, mining services, heavy industry, construction and defence supply chain.
Spire Safety is an Australian WHS consultancy delivering WHS compliance auditing, safety management systems, ISO 9001 / 14001 / 45001 readiness and general WHS consulting to Newcastle, the Hunter and wider New South Wales. We work with operators across the Port of Newcastle and Kooragang Island, the Hunter Valley coal chain and heavy-haul rail, Tomago and Kurri Kurri heavy industry, Beresfield and Cardiff industrial estates, mining-services fabrication and workshops, RAAF Williamtown defence supply chain, construction and civil contractors, transport and logistics, and health, aged care and higher-education operators.
We're Brisbane-based and deliver Newcastle work remote-first — documentation, systems build, gap analysis and audit prep happen offsite, with on-site time scoped only where it genuinely adds value: mobilisation, site walks, internal audits and close-out. Travel is scoped up front so the fee doesn't get loaded with desk work done from a hotel room.
Every Newcastle 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.
A short walkthrough of how our independent WHS compliance audits are scoped, run and reported for New South Wales operations.
Newcastle 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. On larger Newcastle jobs Jodie Rice steps in for risk management, system implementation and auditing.
NSW and Australia-wide clients we've worked with include Riverwall Constructions, alongside Wiradjuri Demolitions, Rindean Quarries, Pemulwuy Contracting, Cobar Shire Council, Hilltops Council, Snowy River Council.
