Swietelsky Rail Australia (SRA) is proud to announce that it has been named a finalist in two categories at the prestigious 2025 RISSB Rail Safety Awards, recognising its unwavering commitment to safety, innovation, and the wellbeing of its people.
The nominations highlight two recent initiatives that demonstrate how SRA is contributing to building a safer, stronger rail industry:
Safety Leadership Program – Employee Wellbeing Framework
SRA’s broader organisational commitment to safety was also recognised through its Employee Wellbeing Framework, launched in 2024.
This industry-leading program redefines workplace support and pushes past “best practice” by combining enhanced employee benefits, flexible work policies, proactive wellbeing checks (through SRA’s CHECK 5 system), and expanded Employee Assistance Program (EAP) services.
By supporting its people to be their best selves at home and at work, SRA is strengthening culture, reducing turnover, and improving outcomes across the board.
Both nominations reflect SRA’s holistic approach to rail safety – recognising that true safety leadership encompasses physical protection, mental health, emotional resilience, and strong team support systems.
SRA Managing Director Anne Modderno congratulated the teams, saying: “Safety at SRA is first and foremost about the wellbeing of our people, and supporting them to be their best selves at work, but even more importantly at home.
“Being named a finalist for not just one but two awards reflects the commitment and innovation our people bring every day.
“Whether it’s on the frontline or through organisational culture change, our team continues to set new standards for what safety leadership looks like.”
The winners of the RISSB Rail Safety Awards will be announced at the 2025 RISSB Rail Safety Conference dinner on 13 May 2025.
“Congratulations to all the named finalists for 2025!” said Modderno.
“Regardless of the outcome, we are proud of the achievements that have already strengthened the wellbeing and safety of our team, our partners, and the wider industry.”
