Work, Health & Safety

Adelaide Cemeteries considers the health, safety and wellbeing of all of its staff, including contractors, clients, volunteers and visitors to be paramount. This includes both the physical and mental aspects of our work and we are committed to providing the highest standard of work health and safety (WHS) across our sites. Adelaide Cemeteries supports injured workers to recover and effectively return to work as soon as reasonably practicable.
Our goal is to continually improve our WHS practices through consultation with those who are likely to be affected and facilitate participation and representation to enable us all to return home safely each day.
