As the year winds down and the air gathers that familiar festive hum, our team at CROSS APAC and CROSS Recruit extends warm wishes to you, your families, your workplaces, and your communities.

To those celebrating Christmas, may the season bring rest, connection, and a touch of wonder.
To those observing different cultural or faith traditions, may your celebrations be rich with meaning and togetherness.
And to everyone taking a well-earned break, may it be peaceful, safe, and full of small joys that restore the spirit.

Our office will be closed from 5pm on the 23rd of December and will reopen at 8:30am on January the 2nd. While the doors may be shut and the screens resting, our commitment to you is not. We remain available 24/7 for all clients via phone or email should you need support over the holiday period.

Thank you for welcoming us into your businesses, projects, and regional communities throughout the year. Whether in safety, people, risk, recruitment, or continuity, we value the trust you place in our team.

As 2026 approaches, we look forward to standing beside you as you grow, plan, prevent, respond, and recover across Australia.

Wishing you a safe, refreshing festive season and a bright start to the New Year.

Important WHS Updates: What Employers Need to Know

Safe Work Australia has announced amendments to the model Work Health and Safety (WHS) Act and Regulations, following approval by WHS ministers. These updates reflect the evolving nature of workplace risk and the need for clearer reporting obligations across Australia.

A quick reminder:
Model WHS laws do not automatically apply. Each jurisdiction must formally adopt the changes. CROSS encourages all organisations to check with their local WHS regulator before making any updates to policies, systems, or reporting practices.

What’s Changing in Incident Notification?

Under the updated model WHS Act, notification duties have been expanded to now include:

• Dangerous incidents involving mobile plant and falls
• Violent incidents, including sexual assault
• Work-related su***de and attempted su***de
• Extended worker absences of 15 or more calendar days

These changes broaden the scope of what must be reported, recognising the growing need to address psychological harm, workplace violence, and serious risk events.

Safe Work Australia has released a fact sheet and downloadable handbook to support businesses in understanding their obligations. Updated legislation and explanatory materials are also available for review.

How CROSS Can Support You

For many organisations, especially in regional, remote, or high-risk industries, these changes may mean revisiting:

• Incident reporting procedures
• Internal escalation pathways
• WHS training and induction content
• Psychological safety frameworks
• Contractor and subcontractor communication protocols

CROSS APAC can help you assess your current systems, understand the implications for your workplace, and update your WHS documentation to ensure compliance when (and if) these changes are adopted in your jurisdiction.

If you’re unsure where to begin, reach out to our Safety Team for guidance. We are here to support businesses of all sizes to stay compliant, confident, and prepared.

CROSS: Taking “Mobile Office” a little too literally in Outback QLD

When you take your work on the road, you expect the odd bump. Our mobile office, however, decided to audition for a rodeo and threw a suspension tantrum somewhere between “the middle of nowhere” and “even further out”.

So, while we waited for our knight-in-shining-armour to arrive, the team got… inventive. Let’s just say our temporary office solutions would make a bush mechanic and an interior designer share a knowing nod. Clipboard on an esky? Laptop balanced on a tyre? Field desk made from anything that wouldn’t blow away? All proudly ticked off. 🌾💼

Enter Mick.
Now, Mick’s business card politely states that he services forklifts. Straightforward enough. But chat with him for five minutes, or ask any local within cooee, and you’ll discover he’s a mechanical Swiss-army-human. If it moves, rattles, rolls, or makes a sound it shouldn’t, Mick can sort it.

Thanks to his skill, speed, and good humour, CROSS was back on the road safely and heading to the next remote client before the dust even settled.

A huge thank you to Mick for saving the day and proving once again that outback Queensland is held together by legends like Mick. 🙌🔧

Onwards, upwards, and (hopefully) with all four corners of the suspension behaving themselves.

🚗💙 When you’re driving through North Queensland for client visits and suddenly… BLUEY.

Only in the great Aussie north will you be cruising along, minding your own business, and BAM — a larger than life-sized Bluey staring at you from a paddock like she’s checking your SWMS and risk matrix.

The CROSS team nearly drove off the road laughing.
(We swear we were under the fatigue limits… unlike Bandit after a weekend with the Heeler kids.)

Let’s be real — you know you’re in rural Queensland when:
• The locals wave
• The cane trucks outnumber the cars
• And Bluey appears in the middle of a paddock made of hay, supervising your WHS performance

If Bluey approves our safe driving and client visits, we’ll take it.
Next mission: keep an eye out for Bingo doing a field inspection.

💙🐾 CROSS — keeping workplaces safe… and apparently keeping Bluey happy too.

New National Code of Practice: Managing the Risk of Fatigue at Work

Safe Work Australia has released the updated Model Code of Practice outlining what businesses must do to prevent fatigue-related harm. Fatigue is defined as a state of physical, mental or emotional impairment—far more than simply feeling tired.

The Code sets clear expectations for all PCBUs under WHS laws, including:
• identifying fatigue hazards (long hours, heat, travel, on-call work, shift patterns)
• assessing how work design and environment contribute to impairment
• implementing control measures such as better rostering, adequate rest, and safer task design
• reviewing controls to ensure they remain effective

CROSS supports organisations—small businesses through to major regional operations—to put these requirements into practice. We review rosters, travel demands, accommodation, workloads, environmental conditions and system design to help you meet your WHS duties.

No workplace is too remote or too small.
We deliver practical support across Australia and Asia Pacific, including regional and high-risk environments.

While travelling through North Queensland to visit our clients, the CROSS team came across a standout local gem — JK Rocket Fuel Café in Silkwood. What began as a quick stop for coffee quickly became something far more meaningful.

This café has a powerful purpose at its core: supporting veterans and their families, and creating a welcoming space that honours service and community. Their mission resonates deeply with us. Many of our own team members have children currently serving in the military, and others have family who have served in the past — so this cause is close to home.

But let’s talk about the coffee — because it’s something special. JK Rocket Fuel Café proudly serves two exceptional blends from Australian Warfighter Coffee, a veteran-owned supplier that operates on a “people over profit” mission. Every dollar goes back to supporting veterans and first responders facing mental health injuries.

Their blends don’t just taste incredible — they stand for something.

☕ Night Stalker
A bold, full-bodied blend with real presence. Smooth, robust, and built for those who appreciate a strong, dependable brew.

🦄 Combat Unicorn
Unique, smooth, and beautifully balanced. A standout blend with award-winning flavour and a surprisingly refined finish — definitely not your average cup.

Warfighter Coffee’s ethos is simple: quality coffee with purpose. With the largest blend range in their “Armoury” and a commitment to giving back, they turn every cup into meaningful support for those who’ve sacrificed for our safety.

JK Rocket Fuel Café isn’t just serving great coffee; they’re serving connection, respect, and purpose. Businesses like this strengthen regional communities, and we’re proud to support them.

If you’re ever travelling through Silkwood, make the stop. It’s well worth it.
