At the South Australian Business Chamber we are passionate about working with employers and their HSRs to ensure that they can step into their role with confidence. We have supported thousands of businesses and HSRs to undertake training and are a proud SafeWorkSA approved delivery partner.

We can undertake training at your work site or you can send your HSRs to a public program held at the South Australian Business Chamber at Unley or at other locations at Gepps Cross, Barossa Valley or McLaren Vale.
