One partner. Every jurisdiction.
WHS legislation, regulators and industry expectations differ by jurisdiction. A WA-only consultant can leave your interstate and New Zealand operations exposed — applying the wrong Act, the wrong regulator, or the wrong expectations to sites that sit under a different regime.
Robust HSEQ operates nationally and can commence immediately, working across jurisdictions rather than solely within WA. Whether your teams are in Perth, on the east coast, up north or across the Tasman, you get one trusted partner who knows which laws apply where.
We’re the right call when…
- Your operations span more than one state or territory
- You’ve expanded interstate or into New Zealand
- Your current consultant only knows WA law
- You need cover for distributed or field-based teams
- You need someone who can commence immediately

The regimes, at a glance
- Model WHS laws: NSW, QLD, SA, TAS, ACT, NT & the Commonwealth
- Western Australia: its own WHS Act 2020, largely aligned to the model laws
- Victoria: its own OHS Act 2004 — a separate, non-harmonised regime
- New Zealand: the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015
- We work fluently across all of them
Not Every State Reads From The Same Book
Most states and territories and the Commonwealth adopt the model WHS laws — that’s “harmonisation”. But it’s not universal, and the differences matter.
Western Australia has its own Work Health and Safety Act 2020, largely aligned to the model laws. Victoria remains under its own Occupational Health and Safety Act 2004 — a genuinely separate OHS regime. New Zealand sits under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015. Getting this right is the difference between a system that holds up and one that quietly doesn’t apply.
Built For Distributed And Field-Based Teams
National coverage isn’t just knowing the law — it’s a delivery model that reaches teams wherever they are.
Virtual & remote consultation
We support distributed and field-based teams remotely — systems, documentation, advice and compliance work delivered wherever your people are, without waiting on travel. It’s how national engagements move fast.

- Ability to commence immediately

Do you only work in Western Australia?
No. Robust HSEQ is headquartered in Perth (Belmont, WA) but operates nationally — across every Australian state and territory — as well as New Zealand. A WA-only consultant can leave interstate and NZ operations exposed; we work across jurisdictions rather than solely within WA.
Are the work health and safety laws the same in every state?
No. Most states and territories and the Commonwealth adopt the model WHS laws (harmonised). Western Australia has its own Work Health and Safety Act 2020 (WA), largely aligned to the model laws. Victoria remains under its own Occupational Health and Safety Act 2004, which is a separate OHS regime. New Zealand operates under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015. We work fluently across all of them.
