When Something Happens to One, It Happens to All
When something goes wrong, it doesn’t just impact your staff - it impacts their families too.
In our recent conversation with Will Schofield, he shared a story that brought this truth home.
While playing for the West Coast Eagles in Melbourne, his wife was at home in Perth when their house was broken into - while she was inside.
It’s the kind of event that triggers shock, fear, and chaos. And it’s exactly the kind of moment Safety Assist was built for.
The Moments That Change Everything
When a crisis strikes, the first call is always the same: emergency services.
But what happens after that?
That’s where Safety Assist steps in.
Our team connects instantly with police, the employer, and the family to coordinate safety and stability, arranging:
Temporary accommodation
Pet care
Security checks
Childcare
Trauma counselling
Every detail is handled with speed, sensitivity, and professionalism, ensuring no one has to navigate the fallout alone.
Protecting Families - Not Just Workers
One of the most important parts of Safety Assist is that it recognises reality:
when workers are away - especially in FIFO roles - their families are still exposed to risk.
That’s why immediate family members are covered under the Safety Assist program while their loved one is on rotation.
It means when something happens at home, they’re not left to cope alone.
Because care shouldn’t end at the worksite.
Why This Matters
Crises don’t wait for business hours.
They don’t care about job titles, rosters, or reporting lines.
They happen in real life, to real people, and they ripple outward through families, teams, and communities.
Safety Assist was designed for those moments.
To bridge the gap between incident and recovery.
To act fast, protect people, and support the business, in one seamless system backed by insurer coverage.
It’s the difference between reaction and readiness.
Between leaving people to manage alone, and having a structure that’s ready to respond the moment something happens.
Because Safety Isn’t Just Policy - It’s Personal.
Every worker deserves to know that if something happens - to them or their family - their organisation has a plan that cares for both.
That’s what leadership looks like in 2025.
That’s why VUCA Risk exists.
