Who We Are

Occuhealth is a full-service occupational health and hygiene consultancy operating throughout Western Australia, nationally, and internationally.

For more than 25 years, we’ve helped organisations across mining, energy (onshore and offshore), construction, and refining create healthier, safer workplaces. We do this by combining deep technical expertise with a practical, site-ready delivery model that minimises disruption and maximises outcomes.

Unlike many providers, Occuhealth delivers the majority of services directly at the workplace through a fleet of fully equipped mobile testing units. This approach reduces employee downtime, removes logistical friction, and ensures health and hygiene assessments happen in real working conditions, not just clinical settings.

Built for the Realities of Industry

With a team of more than 60 professionals, Occuhealth is structured to support complex, high-risk industries where time, compliance, and accuracy matter.

Our consultants are professionally qualified to relevant Australian standards and experienced in identifying chemical, biological, physical, and psychosocial hazards. More importantly, they focus on delivering practical, implementable solutions that help organisations manage or eliminate exposure risks effectively.

By bringing fully equipped mobile units directly to site, we reduce operational downtime while maintaining the highest clinical and technical standards.
