WELLBEING, SUSTAINABILITY AND ENVIRONMENT


Caring for the health and safety of our people and planet is at the heart of how nbn operates. Whether you’re working out in the community or in one of our offices, we have programs and systems to keep you safe and help you do your best work.

All our new starters are provided with Health, Safety and Environment training as well as a number of on boarding activities which will get you off to a great start.

In addition, the following HSE principles guide the way nbn operates:

  • Our people, and those we work with go home safely everyday 
  • Our employees’ health and wellbeing is valued and enhanced
  • Our leadership position for protecting the planet is visible and evident by our actions

We encourage staff to get involved with various Health, Safety and Environment initiatives from our volunteer positions as Fire Wardens, First Aiders through to our myWellbeing Champions. There is always a Health, Safety and Environment initiative to be involved in.
