History of Induct For Work

In 2010, a chance conversation between two former university mates would go on to disrupt the way workplaces handle induction and compliance—laying the foundation for a platform now used across multiple continents.

The idea came from a national construction manager, who at the time was juggling multiple sites and facing a logistical nightmare. As projects expanded and new workers arrived daily, the burden of paper-based inductions became increasingly unsustainable. Regional teams struggled to access training materials and critical time was lost managing administrative tasks. Tracking licences, certifications and document expirations was nearly impossible. The risks to compliance, safety and efficiency were growing.

Recognising the gap, he reached out to a long-time associate in the technology sector—a Chief Technology Officer with a background in software architecture and cyber security. What followed was the blueprint for a smarter way to induct, train and manage workplace compliance.

Together, they envisioned a digital solution that would allow employers to manage inductions online—upload content, set assessments, track documentation and automate expiry reminders—all from a single platform. The concept prioritised flexibility, decentralised access and compliance visibility. Just as important was the ability to scale, giving businesses the power to onboard workers across multiple sites and job types without creating administrative bottlenecks.

A small team of developers was assembled and after two years of intensive development, the platform—branded as Induct For Work—was launched in 2012.

While its early traction was modest, the platform quickly proved itself in environments where time and safety were critical. The system’s real-time tracking, centralised document storage and ability to deliver training to remote workers made it especially attractive to industries operating across large geographies.

Word spread. Companies in construction, logistics, manufacturing and hospitality began adopting the tool, not only for its compliance features but for its simplicity. Soon, the platform’s reach extended beyond Australian borders, with businesses in the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea incorporating Induct For Work into their onboarding processes.

Today, more than a decade since its launch, Induct For Work has become a trusted name in digital induction systems. Used by companies of all sizes, the platform helps employers meet safety standards, simplify onboarding and maintain compliance—no matter where they operate.

What began as a frustration on the job site has evolved into a global solution for safer, smarter workplaces.
