CSR

 

Exploring the CSR Gyprock Wetherill Park site through a guided tour was a recent highlight for us at Zenergy. Kathleen Melville and Giulia Giovagnoli gained a firsthand understanding of CSR Limited's day-to-day production of gyprock plasterboard. This immersive experience delved into the entire manufacturing process — from raw gypsum to mixing, heating, drying, and the final product being loaded onto trucks.
 
The tour not only provided valuable insights into the intricacies of gyprock production but also offered a comprehensive view of the site's expansion and the thriving business it supports. Witnessing the manufacturing journey from start to finish was not only informative but also exciting, highlighting the growth and success of the site.

Health, Safety & Sustainability Job Market 2023

 

The Zenergy WHS Job Opportunities Index maintains exceptional strength and resilience, defying the current trend of economic softening and declining consumer confidence. While uncertainties persist regarding the sustainability of these record levels, the WHS job market remains robust amid economic fluctuations.
 
Industries including manufacturing and retail are at an all-time high in WHS opportunities in 2023 and we foresee this trend to remain in place through 2024. The energy industry, particularly renewables, supported by a generational federal spend in grid enhancement and carbon reduction, this is having a cascading effect in employment requirements across multiple supporting industries and will be evident in 2024. Changes in government has softened new infrastructure spend and traditionally strong employers including public sector transport organisations will see reduced staffing needs in 2024.

Regional Demand for WHS Professionals

Consistency characterizes the national job market's strength across major employment regions since the beginning of the 2022 calendar year, maintaining proportional shares within the market. Approximately one-third of WHS job opportunities are situated in NSW, while QLD and VIC also hold substantial portions of the job market. Smaller employment markets like ACT,
NT, TAS, and to some extent SA, encounter greater volatility due to their lower volumes of opportunities. Nevertheless, these regions have also displayed robust performance.
