What We Do

Comprehensive Mining HSET Solutions
Done Properly

Your operation doesn’t need more sub-par bodies on-site.
You need a specialists who integrates quickly, delivers practical safety leadership advice, and provides advanced medical and emergency response expertise when it counts... without the handholding.
Sentinel delivers exactly that, and more.

HSET Consulting &
Senior Safety Advisory

Sentinel provides senior-level HSET professionals who advise, guide, and support your leadership team, not just fill a seat.
We integrate with your HSET team to assist your supervisors and managers in improving their safety performance, streamlining compliance, and ensuring that your site aligns with the WHS Act & Regulations.
From risk assessments and incident investigations to leadership coaching and strategic safety planning, we help your team with the tools and advice to lead effectively.

Advanced Medical & Psychosocial Support

When injuries, health risks, or psychosocial challenges arise, Sentinel delivers advanced medics with real clinical capability, not just first aiders.
We manage pre-hospital care, occupational health, injury recovery, and drug and alcohol testing while supporting your workforce’s mental wellbeing.
We also help sites manage psychosocial hazards before they become compliance issues.

When an incident happens, preparation makes the difference. Sentinel builds, trains, and leads an emergency response capability tailored to your site.
From fire and vertical rescue drills to confined space recovery, vehicle extrications, and incident command coordination, we integrate seamlessly with your ERT or provide full leadership support when required.
We ensure your people are ready — without overcomplicating the process.

Testimonials

Don't just take our word for it. Here's what some industry leaders have said about us

“Throughout my career I’ve worked with some of the best Health and Safety Professionals in the business, Josh is up there with the best. His passion, knowledge, affable manner and textbook delivery of material is something to behold and has an incredible gift to lift his audience. The operation can boast best-ever HSEC performance during his tenure with his work ethic and attitude having been a huge part of that success”

Liam Franklin, Head of Australian Operations – Rio Tinto Lithium

“The Swiss-Army Knife of HSET. Josh really can do it all, and well.
If he can’t do it, he says so and then learns it fast. A pleasure to have on our team. Strongly recommend”

“Josh is one of the finest medics I have ever worked with.
His knowledge of his craft is impeccable, and the enthusiasm Josh shows for all things health related becomes infectious. Any person that can make the UG workers not only adopt, but enjoy, a pre-start meeting stretching routine is a freak. We will miss The Nomad Medic, especially the dad jokes”

“[Josh] was engaged for a short period to cover various gaps in our department until replacements were sourced. Two years later, we finally had to let him go. Josh adapts and becomes part of the furniture so quickly, you forget he is a contractor. We’re sad to see him go but wish him the best for the future. Thanks Josh”
