About Contractor Management

Woolworths Group is committed to putting safety, health and wellbeing at the centre of what we do and has implemented a Contractor Management System across all business units within the group. The Contractor Management System adopts a risk-based approach to categorise and manage contractors based on the work they perform on our sites. This site presents more detailed information about what the system is and who has to use it.

How it works

The Contractor Management System allows contracting companies to self-register by entering their company details and requested documents (including insurances, licences, and safety documents) depending on the work they do for Woolworths Group.

All workers who undertake work at Woolworths sites and stores must complete a Woolworths Online Safety induction. The worker must read a number of Woolworths Group safety information modules and answer assessment questions to confirm their understanding. Once the worker has passed their course, they will be issued a Woolworths Contractor Safety Card and ID number to present when working on any Woolworths Group sites.

Registration and Induction Compliance

The Woolworths Contractor Management process is completed in two parts: company registration and worker induction bookings.

We suggest you read through the steps before you get started, giving yourself time to source and upload the information about your business and employees who will work for Woolworths Group. A nominated administrator from your business will be required to complete the steps below.

User guides with screenshots can be found on the Help and Resources page.
