From the Safety Partner work
Policies people can read. Reports you can act on.
Every policy is tailored to your business and consulted on with your workers before it is finalised.
Workplace behaviour, bullying and harassment policy
Why behaviour is a health and safety matter, then the expected behaviours with what each looks like and what it does not. The full policy defines bullying and what is not bullying, harassment and discrimination, and sets out how to raise a concern without going through the person it is about, response timeframes, and protection for anyone who speaks up.
Psychosocial hazards policy
The opening page: what the policy is for and who it covers, in plain words. An edition for each state’s code of practice.
Psychosocial survey report
Priority findings up front, then every question graphed with the actual answers. Groups under six are combined so no one can be identified.

Tracy Heidrich, Principal WHS Advisor
Experienced judgement. Practical advice.
Seventeen years as a SafeWork Inspector, including five years as a psychosocial inspector, plus four years in advisory work, taught Tracy what inspectors examine, which gaps matter most and why a document alone rarely answers the real question. She brings that experience to the table and works through it with you.

Common questions.
A Safety Partner is a work health and safety adviser who works alongside your business on a month-to-month arrangement. At Evolve Safety & Wellbeing that adviser is Tracy Heidrich, a former SafeWork SA Inspector. She works alongside the person who looks after WHS in your business: reviewing what is in place, drafting documents, guiding managers, and answering questions when issues or incidents come up. It suits Australian businesses that need real WHS capability without a full-time safety role.
Yes. Every Australian business, whatever its size or industry, has a duty under WHS law to manage health and safety risks, and regulators expect to see how that is done: written down, in use and kept current. The size of the system should match the work and its risks, not a headcount. For a mid-sized business that usually means clear policies, risk assessments, safe work procedures, worker consultation and incident reporting that you can show an inspector on the day.
For most businesses of this size, a full-time safety role is more than you need. What you do need is a clear owner inside the business and someone to support them. A Safety Partner gives your HR or operations manager that support: a former inspector who works through the requirements with them, drafts documents with them, and helps with the questions as they come up. The decisions stay with the business.
Start with a conversation about your business, your current WHS arrangements and the support you need. Tracy will discuss a suitable scope with you and provide a written proposal setting out the support and fees before you decide.
No. No reputable adviser can guarantee compliance, because WHS duties always remain with the business as the duty holder. What Evolve provides is experienced advice, practical systems and evidence-based support so your business can meet its obligations and demonstrate that it has.
Yes. Evolve supports businesses across Australia remotely and works to the legislation, regulator guidance and approved Codes of Practice that apply in your state or territory. Site visits can be arranged where they are needed.
