Deakin University sets a new standard in compliance and risk management
With 60,000 students and over 3,500 contractors, Deakin University needed smarter systems to manage safety, tree assets and workforce compliance. By adopting Civica’s ArborSafe and LinkSafe platforms, they’ve streamlined contractor management, automated tree asset monitoring, and created a safer, more transparent environment across all six campuses.
Key Outcomes
Improved Safety and Risk Management
Structured tree oversight and real-time contractor tracking help meet duty of care obligations.
Streamlined Contractor Compliance
Automated inductions and prequalifications eliminate delays and reduce administrative burden.
Expanded Workforce Readiness
Prequalified contractors increased from 520 to 1,270, ensuring higher reliability and safety.

We’ve had a great working relationship with ArborSafe for many years, while the implementation of LinkSafe has been a game-changer for our contractor management. Together, they ensure we have most of our risk and compliance covered for my department.
