**About our Team**
Humans Performance and Safety (HPS) is committed to strengthening safety assurance and optimising human performance in the Air Force through a data-driven, risk-based approach. By leveraging safety data intelligence, HPS enhances operational readiness, survivability, and decision-making capability across all levels of command.

Through its Assurance and Due Diligence (A&DD) stream, HPS delivers comprehensive data analysis and communicates insights across the organisation—from senior leaders to frontline personnel. This ensures informed, risk-aware decisions that support a high-performance, safety-focused culture.

HPS uses data to evaluate to provide organisational assurance, identifying areas of success and those requiring remediation. These insights are central to sustaining situational awareness and guiding improvements in policy. Looking ahead, HPS is evolving its safety systems and assurance frameworks to support a future-ready Air Force—agile, integrated, and capable of maintaining long-term aviator performance and survivability.

The APS 6 Work Health and Safety Officer at HPS is a specialist role focused on transforming safety-related data into actionable insights that drive improved health and safety outcomes across the organisation. Unlike a generalist Work Health and Safety advisor, this position requires strong analytical capability, with a demonstrated ability to interrogate complex datasets, identify emerging trends, and translate safety metrics and KPIs into clear, evidence-based recommendations.
