I believe that CMIOSH is recognised in Australia. Send an email to carolyn.issitt@iosh.co.uk and she will give you a definitive answer.

As an Aussie OH&S advisor I can honestly say that I think you will find the majority of employers and recruiters here will have absolutely no idea what iosh or nebosh are and will still require you to hold relevant Australian qualifications.. The majority of recruitment here is handled by people with very little knowledge of the global OH&S scene and relevant qualifications, and for them the easiest way to ensure their people are appropriately qualified is to stick with what they know - eg Australian Certificate IV, Diploma or Advanced Diploma in OH&S and tertiary qualifications. That being said, it should be a fairly simple process to seek RPL from any of the Australian institutions in order to acquire those qualifications. The main difference, and a fairly valid argument for requiring Australian qualifications, is the difference between our legislative frameworks and the required knowledge of Australian OH&S legislation and how to achieve compliance. If you hold a tertiary qualification in OH&S (eg a degree or above) then you will find it easier to argue the case for transferance than if you hold a vocational (eg certificate or diploma) qualification...
