Our mission is to create custom designed courses that assist in creating safer, more resilient work environments through comprehensive training and education.
At KsafeT, our team blends over 30 years of healthcare and education expertise. Simon, a paramedic with 15 years experience in training and pre-hospital emergency care, and Amanda, a Senior Speech Pathologist pursuing a Master of Public Health, collaborate to deliver evidence-based training in first aid, mental health, and family safety, fostering safer communities.
Simon uses his 12+ years experience as a practicing clinician and additional time as an educator, to adapt to a range of different corporate roles. He has a natural ability to work with a broad range of people, as he can adapt to, and work effectively across many different types of cultural and societal boundaries.
I can highly recommend the sensational work of Simon Hastings. He’s excellent in business but also gives back to the community through K’Sparkle and Dads Group. To find out more about this, read his stories on the Humans in Geelong Website or watch his video on the Humans in Geelong Online Expo 2020. Thanks so much Simon.
Simon is a passionate and energetic agent for social change. He is able to combine strong professional acumen with stakeholder engagement and community mindedness to drive new projects and initiatives. Simon is fun to engage and work with.
Simon has been a great supporter of Whitelion and the annual DARE2B youth conference, volunteering his time to speak to young people about his career and personal life. His contribution is invaluable and young people are engaged and inspired by his stories. I can rely on Simon to give a professional and informative presentations.

Simon is an experienced project manager with a proven track record of committee management and advisory board experience in not for profits, community safety and prehospital care. Simon has been a pleasure to work and collaborate with.
Simon has a real drive for social impact and I thoroughly enjoyed working with him in his capacity with Rustic Pathways during my time with the Reach Foundation. Simon is a big picture thinker and has a creative mind which really helped when developing an innovative new partnership program together.

Simon is passionate, knowledgeable and engaging! Great engagement from the group and loved having him at the firm!
Simon has a natural ability to connect with students of all ages. He creates connection through determining what the student is interested in, the curriculum link (if applicable), and is always calm and engaging with his approach. Simon places a great deal of importance of listening and observing to best create the connection
Simon delivered an outstanding first aid and emergency preparedness session for our team that exceeded all expectations. His approach struck the perfect balance between being highly engaging and extremely practical.

Supporting Fathers in the Workplace

Our groundbreaking partnership with Dads Group represents a unique initiative in workplace support and safety education. Born from personal experience as a father of four young children, this collaboration addresses a crucial gap in workplace programs by combining practical safety training with dedicated support for fathers.
Through interactive breakfast sessions and specialised workshops, fathers are provided with the opportunity to build connection, foster personal growth and share the journey of fatherhood.
This partnership goes beyond traditional workplace training by fostering a culture where fathers feel equipped, supported, and confident in their dual roles as professionals and parents. By encouraging early help-seeking behaviors and building lasting resilience, we’re creating stronger, more capable teams both at work and at home.
