Peter Gould

Pete has more than 25 years of occupational health and safety on-the-job experience working with government agencies, volunteer organisations and mining equipment manufacturers in front line WHS roles.

Professionally, Pete is a registered nurse with postgraduate qualifications in OHS, Disaster and Emergency Management and Psychology.

Pete proudly heads up the Local Government Work Care WHS Support Unit which supports 65 of Queensland local governments who are self-insured for workers’ compensation with LGMS.

He is particularly passionate about his “Head Safety Coach” role in local government and thrives on supporting organisations who support our communities in Queensland.

Pete is a determined optimist and believes that health, safety and wellbeing can be part of a “normal day at work” if people are considered to be an organisation’s best and most valuable assets.
