Council workforces are highly visible; LGA performance reporting now includes preventative health indicators.

Board-level pressure points

  • LGA performance reporting

    State frameworks increasingly include preventative-health and workforce-wellbeing indicators in mandatory reporting.

  • Highly visible workforce

    Parks, depots and field crews are the public face of council; lapses in PPE compliance are noticed by residents and media.

  • Workers' comp & long-tail liability

    Long-tenured outdoor crews concentrate cumulative-UV liability on a single self-insured employer.

Governance context

Elected members and audit committees are now expected to evidence preventative-health programs, not just reactive WHS compliance.
