Servicing all of Australia
Townsville WHS and safety consultants — compliance auditing, safety management systems and ISO 45001 readiness across mineral processing and refining, Port of Townsville stevedoring and bulk terminals, defence support, mining services, sugar milling, transport and construction.
Spire Safety is an Australian WHS consultancy delivering WHS compliance auditing, safety management systems, ISO 9001 / 14001 / 45001 readiness and general WHS consulting to Townsville, the North Queensland coast and wider Queensland. We work with mineral processing and refining operators (zinc, copper and nickel), Port of Townsville stevedores and bulk terminals, mining services and heavy-haulage contractors running the Flinders Highway west to Mount Isa, sugar milling in the Burdekin, defence primes and subcontractors supporting Lavarack Barracks and RAAF Townsville, civil and construction contractors, and health, aged-care and professional-services firms.
We're Brisbane-based and deliver Townsville 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. For mining and mineral processing clients we work under both the WHS Act and the resources safety legislation (MQSHA and CMSHA) that applies to your site.
Every Townsville engagement is led by a senior consultant. You speak directly with the person scoping the work, writing the report and presenting the findings.
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 Queensland operations.
Townsville 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 Townsville jobs Jodie Rice steps in for risk management, system implementation and auditing.
Queensland and Australia-wide clients we've worked with include Queensland Health, alongside Greyhound Australia, Bluecare, Sunshine Coast Council, Noosa Council, Marist College Ashgrove.
We don't publish a full client list — most engagements involve confidential documentation and findings.
