Why Councils Use Us
Good EHOs rarely apply via job boards alone.
You might get lucky — but you can’t build workforce strategy on luck.
Our candidate access comes from:
-
Attending every EHA & EHP conference nationwide
-
Sponsoring industry awards and events
-
Presenting to Environmental Health graduates in Australia and overseas
-
Providing career advice and support to EHOs — whether we place them or not
-
30+ years of consistent presence in the profession
We don’t just recruit in Environmental Health.
We are part of the profession.
With both Nick and Owen's connections and reputation in the market there isn't an EHO role that we haven't been able to fill.
Proven National Track Record
-
500+ EHOs placed across Australia
-

There isn’t an Environmental Health role we haven’t successfully delivered on.
If you need an EHO — anywhere in Australia — we back ourselves to find the right person.
