OHS Induction and Training for School Staff

OHS inductions for principals

All regions have an induction process available to new principals. Regional induction programs (staff login required) can help connect new principals with key regional staff and local networks. They also provide essential information to support principals, such as the Principal Welcome Pack (staff login required). Principal Employment Coordinators (PECs) can be contacted for further information on the regional process and upcoming sessions.

The Starting a job in a government school (induction) page has information about starting as a new principal, as well as general induction information you can provide to new staff. The Principals' Page (staff login required) also has many helpful links to information and websites regularly used by principals as well as contact information for the Principal Advisory Service. The principal health and wellbeing supports protect, promote and address mental and physical health and wellbeing needs of principals.

The Occupational Health, Safety and Wellbeing Management in Schools page on PAL provides a clear overview of policies, procedures and guidance materials available to support schools to manage health, safety and wellbeing and successfully implement a safety management system. The Useful contacts for health, safety and wellbeing advice includes information regarding the OHS Advisory Service and the Statewide OHS Services Team who provide free advice and OHS support to schools.
