CSG July 2024 Site Visit: Melbourne & Olympic Parks

Site visit to Melbourne & Olympic Parks

Presentation by: Scott McMillan, Director of Safety, Melbourne & Olympic Parks

Presentation package now available (members only)

Attendees enjoyed the chance to see inside the safety systems of some of Melbourne’s biggest event and sporting venues with Scott McMillan, Director of Safety at Melbourne & Olympic Parks on 9 July.

Melbourne & Olympic Parks (M&OP) is home to seven national, elite sporting teams and welcomes millions of visitors annually. The precinct is acclaimed for hosting the Australian Open, a range of sporting codes, as well as top international acts and musicians.

On the site visit, Scott showed the safety side of what goes into putting on some of its main sporting events. This includes discussing the challenge of providing safe delivery, in a short time frame and on a very large scale.

The presenter:

Host Scott McMillan, Director of Safety at Melbourne & Olympic Parks, conducted our tour. About the venue: The original Olympic Park sporting arena, established in 1933, was demolished in 1946 for redevelopment to prepare the precinct to host field hockey and cycling events during the 1956 Olympic Games. By 1988, another significant redevelopment was underway to establish a purpose-built, multi-venue National Tennis Centre to host the Australian Open. In 2006 the precinct hosted various events for the Commonwealth Games. Today the precinct is home to six of Melbourne’s premier venues: Rod Laver Arena, Margaret Court Arena, John Cain Arena, AAMI Park, CENTREPIECE and Kia Arena. A $972 million-dollar Melbourne Park Redevelopment has recently been completed by the Victorian Government.

OHS & forensic mental health
As many of you know, Victoria is entering a new era of workplace safety with the upcoming implementation of the Occupational Health and Safety (Psychological Health) Regulations, set to take effect in December 2025.
Craig Ramadge’s presentation to Central Safety Group on July 8 will draw on his experience working in the area of forensic mental health to explore the implications of Victoria’s new psychosocial regulations for employers and employees.
These regulations place a stronger emphasis on identifying and managing psychological hazards - including exposure to trauma, violence and high-stress environments - all of which are highly relevant in forensic settings.
Craig will take us through the unique physical and mental health challenges faced by workers in forensic mental health roles, and how the changes to WorkCover Mental Injury claims in Victoria impact these workers.
He will also offer practical strategies for creating safer, more supportive workplaces, with an emphasis on the importance of early intervention, trauma-informed care and organisational resilience.
Whether you work in corrections, mental health services, law enforcement or community support, this session is designed to equip you with insights and tools to better protect psychological wellbeing in your workplace.
