Speaker Bio
Amanda Clements has spent close to 20 years working at senior and executive level inside some of Australia's largest and most complex high risk organisations. Her career spans executive HSEQ roles at Downer Group, Transurban, Village Roadshow, Probuild, Mirvac and Kapitol Group, covering construction, infrastructure, property and road services. She has led large teams of HSEQ practitioners, developed multi-year national safety strategies, and worked directly with boards, executive teams, trade partners and frontline workers to close the gap between what leadership believes is happening and what's actually happening on the ground. In 2017, Amanda was appointed lead investigator after a traffic control supervisor on a roads project was fatally struck by a reversing vehicle. That investigation shaped the direction of her career and since, has focused on critical risk reduction across high hazard activities including working at height, mobile plant interaction, live traffic environments and excavation. She went on to develop and roll out Mission Possible, a national critical risk programme reaching over 3,500 workers and subcontractors, and Learning Teams, refined over 2 years and recognised as a finalist in the National Health and Safety Awards. Amanda is a regular keynote speaker, moderator and University guest lecturer. Recent appearances include an international keynote at the SafeGuard Conference in New Zealand, a keynote at the inaugural Global Work Design Conference, the Australian Institute of Health and Safety National Conference, moderating the Property Council's panel on psychosocial safety, and guest lecturing in Melbourne University's Masters in Construction Management program. Amanda is now the founder of The Collective Lab, working with organisations to help them learn from everyday work and close the gap between what's reported and what's really happening.
