Are you passionate about protecting people and creating better workplaces?
Join us as a Workplace Health & Safety (WHS) Apprentice and learn how to build a culture where safety is at the heart of everything we do.

At Amazon, safety isn’t just a priority - it’s our foundation. You’ll gain the skills and confidence to identify risks, improve processes, and help ensure that every employee goes home safe every day. You’ll also study toward a nationally recognised qualification while learning directly from experienced WHS professionals.
