Workplace Training in Mackay

Taylor Made Training & Safety is a Mackay-based Registered Training Organisation (RTO 5363), delivering accredited and in-house workplace training to operators across Central Queensland - in your workplace, in our Mackay training room, or anywhere in the region you need us.

Accredited courses we deliver in Mackay

We run nationally accredited training under RTO 5363, with current scope across the courses Mackay operators ask for most:

• HSR - Health & Safety Representative training (initial 5-day, plus the annual refresher day)
• Provide First Aid (HLTAID011)
• Provide CPR (HLTAID009)
• Work safely at heights (RIIWHS204) and refresher
• Enter and work in confined spaces (RIIWHS202) and refresher
• Gas test atmospheres (MSMWHS217)
• Lower casualty from height - rescue training
• Issue work permits - PTW system training for site authorisers

Course prices, group minimums and what each course includes are listed on the training section of our home page.

In-house training programs (often the smarter option)

Not every workplace skill needs an RTO qualification. Where the law allows in-house competency and authorisation - overhead crane operation, jib cranes, forklift refreshers, site-specific high-risk tasks, isolation procedures - we can build the training and assessment program for you, in your workplace, with your gear.

Why operators choose this in Mackay:

• Up to 80% cheaper than sending workers off to an RTO course
• The qualification stays with your business (the worker can't take it to a competitor)
• Training uses your equipment, your SOPs, your hazards - so the skill transfers immediately
• Fully meets your PCBU obligations under WHS Regulation 2011

See the in-house overhead crane training case study for what this looks like in practice.

Custom training programs - including young workers

We design industry-specific induction and skills programs for businesses bringing on apprentices, new starters or migrating workers between roles. Our young-worker safety program was nominated for a Worksafe Queensland Category 2 award for individual contribution to WHS.

• Approved WorkCover Queensland provider for related health and safety work

Frequently asked questions about training in Mackay

Do you come to our site or do we come to you?

Both work. We deliver most courses on-site at our clients' workplaces around Mackay and Central QLD, and we also run scheduled courses from our Mackay training room. For group bookings on-site usually works out cheaper per head.

What is the minimum group size?

It varies by course - the price list on our home page shows the minimum group size and per-head pricing for each accredited course. Smaller groups are usually still doable at an adjusted rate.

Are your qualifications recognised everywhere?

Yes - we deliver under RTO 5363 and all accredited course outcomes are nationally recognised qualifications under the Australian Qualifications Framework.

Can you write a training program specifically for our business?

Yes - custom in-house training and authorisation programs are one of the things we do most. Built around your equipment, your SOPs and your actual workplace hazards.
