    What you can do with a Master of Occupational Health and Safety Science

    Careers

    Occupational health and safety professionals work to enhance the safety and health of all workers. Where you choose to start your career will depend on both your career goals and personal aspirations. Positions in large organisations and consulting firms offer mentoring by senior staff, and normally involve travel within Australia and overseas. Comparatively, solo positions allow you to be more hands-on across the full range of OHS issues, and expose you to other business activities, such as human resources and production.

    Jobs can be in remote, rural or urban regions and can be found both nationally and internationally, and as legislative requirements mean all workplaces require OHS advice you have the opportunity to work across all occupational settings from construction to tourism.

    Professional memberships

    Graduates may be eligible for membership with the following organisations:

    • Australian Institute of Occupational Hygienists Inc
    • Safety Institute of Australia Ltd
    • Human Factors and Ergonomics Society of Australia Inc.
