Workplace Health & Safety Show Melbourne

The Workplace Health & Safety Show (WHSS) is Australia’s leading trade event for occupational health and safety – an annual must-attend for professionals committed to shaping the future of workplace protection. More than just an event title, the acronym WHSS represents a strong commitment to Workplace Health, Safety & Solutions – innovative, practical, and forward-thinking.

Held annually at the renowned Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre (MCEC), the show takes place in the heart of one of Australia’s most vibrant and economically significant cities. Organised by National Media, an experienced event producer with a strong industry network and a keen sense for market trends, WHSS provides a premium platform for innovation and expert exchange.

At its core, WHSS embraces a holistic approach to workplace safety that goes well beyond showcasing products and technologies. The event brings together professionals and decision-makers from diverse sectors – including construction, infrastructure, manufacturing, logistics, transport, healthcare, energy, aged care, emergency services, and government – to explore practical solutions to real-world challenges.

Flagship features such as the Workplace Wellbeing Summit, High Risk Safety Summit, Knowledge Hub, and the Safety Leadership & Culture Summit deliver valuable insights and actionable expertise. Meanwhile, the Spotlight Stage highlights the latest product developments and breakthrough services – offering a hands-on glimpse into emerging trends and innovations.

WHSS is not a standalone event, but part of a broader exhibition series held across several major Australian cities, setting national benchmarks in workplace safety. In Melbourne, the show benefits from an especially innovation-driven environment. The city is known for its strong industrial foundation, technological excellence, and future-ready infrastructure.
