Our Vision and History

We strive to be the number one choice for improving the health and well-being of the Australian workforce. Partnering with our clients, our goal is to make a difference in people’s working lives by; improving well-being, preventing injury, increasing health and safety awareness, and restoring and maintaining health.

In 2016 CHG proudly celebrated 40 years of creating and maintaining safe and healthy Australian workplaces. At CHG, we have continuously evolved our services to meet the changing needs of businesses and their people. While our values, our vision and our approach to business are all embedded in our history, they are also nurtured to continue to grow over time.

Since 1976, CHG has expanded our range of services significantly with the ultimate goal of providing our clients with the full continuum of care from recruitment to retirement.

CHG remains the only South Australian provider to offer a truly comprehensive suite of services in health promotion, education, training, injury prevention and management.

We are proud to work in partnership with our clients to deliver sustainable solutions as a one-stop shop for everything a business needs to create and maintain a safe and healthy workplace.
