Finalist

Aaron works at OZ Minerals as a Medium Term Scheduling Engineer at Prominent Hill with OZ Minerals.  He has a commitment and passion for supporting the safety and wellbeing of others.

By creating the Prominent Hill Underground (PHUG) Life Podcast, he has been empowered to learn more about safety and physical/mental wellbeing in mining and to find new ways to develop a culture of safety and making lives better on site. The podcast incorporates an opportunity to reach and connect with his workmates and create a space where they can share their experiences and life on site, whilst exploring opportunities to support, the safety and wellbeing of workers.

The podcast is now being used to deliver messages around safety and wellbeing, and Aaron continues to devise new ways to perpetuate a culture of safety, inclusivity and mental wellbeing, whilst continuing to grow as an engineer and challenge his knowledge and skillset.
