Clarifies what officers must actively know, resource, monitor and verify under the WHS Act.
Board-ready
Built for directors, executives and senior leaders who need evidence of informed oversight.
Practical evidence
Connects due diligence to reporting, consultation, risk controls and records that stand up later.
Certificate
Records completion of all seven modules and their required questions as evidence of learning.
Continuous Audio Course
Listen through every module with one tap, saved progress and phone or vehicle controls. Complete the module questions before your certificate is issued.
Important: This is non-accredited awareness training. A certificate records completion of the course requirements; course completion alone does not satisfy or discharge an Officer’s personal due diligence duty. The legal definition of an Officer depends on a person’s role and influence, not their job title alone. Jurisdictional differences also apply, including Victoria’s Occupational Health and Safety legislation.
The complete narration is approximately 42 minutes. Allow 55–65 minutes for the Audio Course pathway including the required questions. Listen Mode moves through all seven modules in order and saves your position. Listening alone does not unlock the certificate: the questions for every module must still be completed. After completion, every module is available for replay with 15-second rewind and fast-forward controls.

Newly appointed officers
Board members with WHS reporting oversight
Not every manager or business owner is automatically an Officer, and the test is not based on title alone. If you are unsure whether the legal definition applies to you, seek advice about your circumstances.
Understand your due diligence obligations.
