Cherie O’Brien – Owner & Founder
With a career spanning more than 33 years in compliance, high-risk work licensing, first aid, and vocational education, Cherie O’Brien founded Survivors Training Collective to deliver a higher standard of workplace training. Cherie’s deep understanding of the VET (Vocational Education and Training) sector ensures that every program, policy, and piece of advice your business receives is legally sound, practical, and highly effective.
Industry-Leading Specialists on Your Side
We believe in bringing the best minds to the table. Our collective features elite industry specialists, including a SafeWork Accredited High Risk Work Licence Assessor. This allows us to provide hyper-specific, compliant safety information, site audits, and short courses surrounding walkie stacker operations and specialized high-risk workplace safety.
