About Organisational Risk Consulting
Organisational Risk Consulting provides independent, governance-led workforce and work health and safety (WHS) assurance to boards and senior leaders seeking confidence in their oversight responsibilities.
We work with senior leaders across Australia to strengthen WHS compliance, translate obligations into practical strategies, and provide independent assurance through audits and investigations. This supports organisations facing increasing regulatory, stakeholder, and board expectations by assessing whether workforce systems, including WHS, psychosocial risk, and organisational arrangements, operate as intended and withstand scrutiny in practice.
We provide independent clarity where accountability rests with leadership.
Experience That Informs Judgement
Organisational Risk Consulting is led by Andrea Paynter, Director and Principal Consultant.
Andrea brings more than twenty-four years of experience spanning workplace injury legal practice, licensed factual investigation, and senior work health and safety leadership roles across both the public and private sectors, including national-level responsibilities.
Her legal practice in workplace injury matters provides a clear understanding of how incidents, systems, and leadership decisions are examined under legal and regulatory scrutiny. This experience informs a practical and disciplined approach to assessing governance arrangements, risk exposure, and assurance mechanisms.
Andrea’s career also includes law enforcement and senior WHS management roles across multiple jurisdictions. This breadth enables assessment of workforce and WHS arrangements not only against stated requirements, but against how they are likely to be interpreted, tested, and relied upon in practice.
Andrea is a Certified OHS Professional with the Australian Institute of Health and Safety (AIHS) and a Member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors (AICD). She is currently undertaking a Master of Laws to further strengthen the firm’s governance, regulatory, and assurance capability.
Together, this experience underpins the independent judgement and assurance focus of Organisational Risk Consulting, providing executives and boards with practical, defensible insight directly relevant to leadership accountability.
