Our QLD forum events offer unparalleled opportunities to connect with fellow professionals, share insights, and gain valuable knowledge. You'll leave with new expertise and a broader network for future collaboration.

Join fellow Safety and Operations professionals for an engaging, hands-on event designed to spark ideas, share what’s working, and deepen your ability to get people to truly switch on to safety.

You’ll connect with like-minded experts, expand your professional network, and walk away with practical insights you can apply immediately. With an inspiring presenter and a dynamic, collaborative format, this is more than just a networking event, it’s a chance to recharge your mindset and reignite your impact.

Our Presenter:

Brian Selmes is the Director of Trexum and a highly respected safety leader with more than 28 years of experience across major Australian organisations, including BHP, Thiess, Snowy Hydro, and Icon Water. He plays a pivotal role in leading Actrua’s Switch On to Safety program - an award-winning cultural change initiative that has transformed safety engagement across frontline and leadership teams.

Brian’s ability to connect with people at all levels of an organisation has been central to the program’s success, helping teams not just comply with safety but truly own it.

Renowned for his down-to-earth style and deep operational knowledge, Brian has coached senior executives, shaped safety strategies for complex infrastructure projects, and facilitated culture programs that deliver long-term behavioural change every day.
