Hi,

I am shortly going to be taking the above course, with a view to pursuing a career in Health & Safety. I will be leaving the RAF in January 2008, and my wife has been offered a position in Queensland, Aus. Is the Nebosh quals recognised in Australia or is there a conversion type course.

Many thanks for any assistance given

Kindest Regards

Geoff

Hi Geoff,

To work in Queensland as a Health and Safety Professional you require a Qld Government WHSO qualification.

Although your nebosh qualification is probably better I am sure you would have to complete the course - look of the Qld Dept of WH&S website for the details of the WHSO course - it takes approx 2 weeks full time study.

Your nebosh qualification would still be invaluable when applying for positions. Remember the legislation in Australia is based on the UK legislation - so that is also an advantage to you - and worth reminding prospective employers.

It would also be invaluable to complete the Qld gov't course - Rehabiliation and Return to Work Coordinator - most employers look for it.

If you want anymore info let me know bobsmith584@hotmail.com

Hi Bob,

Many thanks for your response, very useful information indeed. I am just venturing into the world of Health & Safety after 22 years as a firefighter in the RAF. Our move to Australia is a dream move for the whole family, although daunting when you start the process. Any info Bob, or literature would be gratefully recieved and appreciated. My email is : geofffieldsend@hotmail.com

Once again many thanks

Kindest regards

Geoff
