AWCC supports Safer Together Queensland Regional Roadshow
Australian Well Control Centre (AWCC) was proud to actively support Safer Together throughout the recent Queensland Regional Roadshow, engaging with industry across Roma, Chinchilla, Dalby and Toowoomba. These sessions brought together operators, contractors and industry leaders with a shared focus on improving safety outcomes across the energy sector. The roadshow provided a valuable platform to align on critical initiatives and reinforce a consistent, practical approach to safety that reflects the realities of field operations. AWCC’s involvement was not simply as an attendee, but as an industry partner committed to driving meaningful change and capability development within the workforce.
Across each location, key focus areas included the Fit for Work Medical Assessment Guideline, Frontline Leadership Training, the Land Transport IVMS Common Roadmap, Learning Event Bulletins, the Short Service Employee Management Tool, and emerging advancements in fatigue detection and driver distraction technology. These are not theoretical concepts — they are practical, high-impact controls that directly influence the safety and performance of frontline personnel operating in high-risk environments. The strong engagement from industry representatives reinforced the importance of standardisation, shared learnings, and a unified approach to risk management across the sector.
A standout area of discussion was the continued rollout and importance of Frontline Leadership Training. Effective frontline leadership remains one of the most critical controls in preventing incidents and shaping positive safety culture. AWCC is proud to be delivering this program, bringing a practical, operationally grounded approach that resonates with supervisors, leading hands and emerging leaders. Our delivery is built on real industry experience — not theory — ensuring participants leave with the capability to lead teams, manage risk in dynamic environments, and make decisions under pressure.
What set this roadshow apart was the level of collaboration and openness across all parties. From discussions around the implementation of IVMS frameworks to the use of Learning Event Bulletins as proactive learning tools, it was clear the industry is moving towards greater transparency, shared accountability and continuous improvement. The Short Service Employee Management Tool also generated strong interest, particularly in how organisations can better support and develop new entrants into the industry while maintaining strict safety expectations.
AWCC’s presence throughout the roadshow reinforces our position as a training provider that is built by industry, for industry. We understand the operating environments our clients work in because we come from them. This allows us to deliver training that is relevant, credible and immediately applicable in the field. As the only training organisation in this space that is genuinely industry-led, AWCC continues to bridge the gap between compliance and capability — ensuring that training is not just a requirement, but a driver of performance and safety outcomes.
For decision makers across the oil and gas sector, the message is clear: capability development, leadership and standardisation are central to the future of safe operations. AWCC stands ready to support this journey — not from the sidelines, but as a committed partner embedded within the industry.
