Australia's Construction Safety Specialists

We don't work across logistics, manufacturing, or retail. Just construction. Tower cranes, piling rigs, formwork, scaffolding—these are terms from our professional vocabulary, not textbooks. Our advisors average 15-20 years on construction sites before joining Elliott Safety, working with Australia's most demanding developers. When you need safety advisors who understand construction reality, you need specialists.

Built by Construction People, for Construction People

In 2010, we recognised a major gap in Australia’s construction industry: generic OH&S consultants who didn’t understand the realities of live construction sites. Advisors from manufacturing or warehouse backgrounds were applying theoretical safety frameworks that simply didn’t translate to environments with tower cranes operating in high winds, multiple subcontractors working simultaneously, or fast-tracked programs under Tier 1 pressure.

To solve this, we built a consultancy staffed exclusively by former site managers with 15–20 years of real construction experience—people who’ve held the roles our clients hold, faced the same pressures, and walked the same sites. Starting in Victoria, we quickly earned the trust of leading developers. CBUS Property engaged us on Collins Arch, ISPT brought us onto 555 Collins Street, and Host Plus and Charter Hall developed long-term partnerships across multiple projects.

These clients valued that we understood not just safety regulations, but their business. As word spread—“Elliott Safety gets it; they’re construction people”—we expanded nationally into Sydney and Perth while maintaining our construction-only focus.

Our philosophy has stayed the same: keep things simple, add genuine value, build systems site teams actually use, provide advice that works in real-world construction environments, and respond when clients need us most. We're not the largest consultancy, but we are the most construction-focused—and that specialisation is our strength and your advantage.
