Top 10 EHS Software for Australian Enterprises (2026)

If you run WHS for a national business, you answer to three sets of duties at once: work health and safety at every site, environmental rules for fuel, chemicals, and waste, and the duties you hold for every contractor who works on your sites. Most EHS software is built for the first two. This guide ranks the 10 platforms that best fit an Australian enterprise, and says plainly where each falls short on the third.

Every capability below was read off each vendor's own website on 28 September 2026, except ComplyFlow's own pages, read on 30 September 2026. ComplyFlow is our own product. It is not an EHS suite, but an enterprise buys EHS software to cover its contractors too, so it is scored on the same three tests as the suites, and only on what its Help Centre confirms.

What Is EHS Software?

EHS software is the enterprise system for environment, health, and safety: incidents and investigations, hazards and risk, inspections and audits, permits to work, training and competency, chemicals and safety data sheets, and environmental records such as emissions and waste. At enterprise scale it also carries the reporting a board, an insurer, and a regulator will ask for, across every site in every state.

The large suites are sold as platforms of 20 or more modules, and most are built in North America or Europe for mining, chemicals, energy, and manufacturing. That matters for a business whose risk arrives with contractors, because the modules you need most, contractor prequalification and site sign-in, are the ones those industries needed least.

EHS and WHS: What Is the Difference?

In Australia the law is called work health and safety, so WHS is the local term for the health and safety half. EHS is the international term, and the E adds environment. In practice an Australian buyer searching for either is usually looking at the same shortlist, with the EHS suites covering environmental reporting in more depth.

If your business needs environment only lightly, our best WHS software in Australia guide compares the broad Australian safety platforms, several of which are cheaper to run than an enterprise suite.

How We Chose and Ranked These Ten.

We started from the platforms that Google and the three main AI assistants return for this search in Australia, measured on 24 September 2026, and kept the enterprise EHS suites: platforms sold as one system across safety and environment, with at least two of contractors, permits, and training, for multi-site organisations. Mitti is included because AI assistants name it first for this search. The Australian mid-market platforms, such as WHS Monitor, Safety Champion, and myosh, are compared in our WHS list instead. We read each one's own website on 28 September 2026 (ComplyFlow's own pages on 30 September 2026) and scored it on three tests:

1. Australian office, weighted 3. Scores 2 for two or more Australian offices named on its own site, 1 for one, 0 for none.
2. Breadth, weighted 2. Half a point each for incidents, environment, contractors, and permits to work, and a quarter where a module is only partly described.
3. Contractor compliance, weighted 3. Scores 2 if its own pages describe both contractor prequalification or onboarding with licences or insurance tracked, and site sign-in or access control for contractors or visitors; 1 if only one of the two; 0 if neither.

The ranking runs highest score first, with ties in alphabetical order, and the score is worked out from the table, not chosen. It is a ranking for one kind of buyer, not a verdict on the software. Every score is in the table, so you can change the weights for your own business and see where each platform lands. Several platforms ranked lower here are market leaders in mining or chemicals.

We wrote the tests, and we make ComplyFlow, which does the contractor job that an enterprise needs beside a suite. That is why we scored it too, and why the contractor test carries the same weight as Australian presence: the contractor gap is what this guide is about.

No capability is described unless the vendor's own site describes it, and no vendor's own statistics about itself are repeated. Where we say a vendor names no feature, we mean we did not find it on the pages we read. Cority was scored on the same tests and came eleventh, so it is described under Also Assessed rather than ranked.

The Ten Ranked for an Australian Enterprise.

Rank	Platform	Australian office	Breadth	Contractors	Score of 16
1	HSI Donesafe	2	2	2	16
2	Ideagen EHS	1	2	2	13
3	VelocityEHS	1	2	2	13
4	ComplyFlow	1	1.75	2	12.5
5	Enablon, Wolters Kluwer	2	2	0	10
6	Evotix	2	2	0	10
7	Mitti, formerly SafetyCulture	1	1.75	1	9.5
8	Intelex	0	1.75	0	3.5

10	Sphera	0	1.5	0	3

Of the 10, we found a published price or free plan only for Mitti and ComplyFlow.

1. HSI Donesafe.

Best for: an Australian enterprise that wants one EHS system across safety, environment, chemicals, and psychosocial hazards, with local support in every mainland state.

HSI Donesafe publishes offices in Sydney, Perth, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Adelaide, and names 20 industries.¹ Its EHS page names incident reporting and investigations, audits, risk and compliance, chemical and SDS management, environmental management including carbon emissions, psychosocial management aligned to ISO 45003, and asset management, and states the platform works on all devices, online and offline.² Its module overview names a Control of Work module covering permit to work, a Visitor Management module, and fleet management and driver qualification modules.³ Its contractor management lets contractors and visitors self-register, with licences, insurance, SWMS, and site entry linked. Donesafe is part of HSI, a multinational group with offices in North America, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and Ireland as well as Australia, which matters if your network crosses the Tasman.⁴

Where it is weaker. We found no AI feature named on its site, and no price is published.

2. Ideagen EHS.

Best for: an enterprise that wants a full EHS suite and a separate contractor and workforce product from the same vendor.

Ideagen lists a Perth office on its contact page and names transport and logistics, and facility management, among its industries.⁵ Its EHS product names incidents with investigations and corrective actions, inspections, permits to work, training, hazardous substances, contractor management with expiry tracking and renewal automation, access control, and visitor management, with offline access.⁶ A separate Ideagen Carbon Accounting product covers emissions. Its separate Workforce Safety product adds contractor certifications and compliance, visitor registration, fatigue management, lone worker safety, and site access that integrates with turnstiles and gates.⁷ Ideagen announced on 22 July 2026 that it had added Work Wallet to its EHS portfolio, so expect the product line to keep moving.⁸

Where it is weaker. The two are different products, so check which one a demo is showing, and the emissions reporting sits in a third. No price is published.

3. VelocityEHS.

Best for: an enterprise that wants contractor safety, permits, and visitor management inside a large EHS suite with extensive AI.

VelocityEHS names transportation among its industries and lists Perth as one of seven regional operating centres.⁹ Its contractor safety module tracks contractor and subcontractor status, shows who is arriving onsite, and alerts on expired qualifications, with visitor management and electronic permits to work alongside.¹⁰ It names environmental compliance management and incident management, and a family of AI features under its assistant, Vēlo, including a hazard analyser, a root cause identifier, and a corrective action adviser.¹¹ It added a contractor compliance business in 2023.¹²

Where it is weaker. Its regulatory workflows are written for the United States, and it names no risk register, fleet, or psychosocial module. No price is published.

4. ComplyFlow.

Best for: contractor and workforce compliance beside an EHS suite, or on its own where most of the risk arrives with contractors.

ComplyFlow is Contractor Management Software, and this is our own product. It is not an EHS suite, so it scores on the contractor test rather than on breadth. It holds contractors and labour-hire agencies as suppliers: document requirements can be assigned to a particular site, such as a high risk work licence at one site;¹³ at the gate, a kiosk checks a mobile number against staff and contractor records and notifies the host;¹⁴ and contractors can lodge incidents into your system themselves.¹⁵ Its Plant & Vehicles module includes contractor-owned plant, and plant inspections start by scanning a QR code on the item.¹⁶¹⁷ Its Starter plan is free for up to 5 users and 5 sites, and the Worker licence is AU$35 per Worker per year*, valid with every client that uses it.¹⁸¹⁹ See how contractor prequalification works.

Where it is not the answer. It has no environmental module beyond an environmental damage incident type, and no emissions or chemical registers, so pair it with one of the suites in this list if environmental reporting is a board requirement.

5. Enablon, Wolters Kluwer.

Best for: a very large enterprise with process safety or heavy industrial operations alongside its other operations.

Enablon now trades as a Wolters Kluwer solution, with published offices in Melbourne and Sydney.²⁰ Its health and safety product names incident management, contractor safety, and chemical management;²¹ its process safety product an enterprise-wide risk register;²² its control of work product AI-powered permit drafting;²³ and its mobile app, Enablon Go, reporting online or offline.²⁴ Wolters Kluwer completed its acquisition of Enablon on 1 July 2016.²⁵

Where it is weaker. The Enablon pages we read lean to heavy, asset-intensive operations. It names no fleet or visitor module, and contractor safety is a list item with no description of prequalification or sign-in.

6. Evotix.

Best for: an enterprise that wants deep EHS with Australian regulatory content and assistive AI.

Evotix names logistics and transportation, and warehousing, as industries,²⁶ and lists a Journey Planning module in its safety menu,²⁷ and lists Melbourne and Perth among its offices.²⁸ Its lineage includes Cintellate, founded in Perth in 1994. It names incident management with causal analysis and corrective actions, contractor onboarding and digital induction, permits to work, chemicals and SDS, waste, emissions, training, and psychosocial risk, with an offline mobile app.²⁹ Its EvoAI agents include one that flags missing information on a permit before it is approved, and one that suggests corrective actions from similar past events.³⁰ Evotix was owned by SAI360 from 2023 and returned to operating as a standalone business in October 2024,³¹ and it integrates with LexisNexis for regulatory content.

Where it is weaker. The regulators named on its incident page are from the United States and United Kingdom, not Australia, and we found no licence or insurance tracking or visitor sign-in. No price is published.

7. Mitti, Formerly SafetyCulture.

Best for: an enterprise that wants frontline reporting and inspections on one platform, with fleet tools if it needs them.

SafetyCulture renamed itself Mitti on 11 August 2026, which B&T reported, and its about page names Sydney as its headquarters.³²³³ Its transport and logistics page covers fleet GPS, route history, vehicle inspection checklists, and telematics.³⁴ It names issue reporting with investigations and corrective actions, contractor management, permits to work, training, and asset management, and it lets contractors and visitors report by QR code. Its AI features include AI Issue Creation, where a worker describes a problem and the form fills itself, and an assistant that answers questions about your operations.³⁵ Inspections can be completed offline and synced later.³⁶

Where it is weaker. Its environmental page covers waste and ISO 14001 but not emissions or safety data sheets, and we found no risk register by that name. Its price is published as AU$24 a seat a month on annual billing, with a per-site option and unlimited users for multi-site operations.³⁷

8. Intelex.

Best for: an enterprise that wants a large library of EHS applications.

Intelex, owned by Industrial Scientific since 2019,³⁸ names transportation and logistics among its industries, where it describes managing fleet and driver safety.³⁹ Its applications include incident management with root cause analysis, audits and inspections, an enterprise risk register, permits to work, waste and air emissions, training, and asset management. Its AI includes photo recognition that turns a picture of a hazard into a filled-in observation, and pattern detection across records.⁴⁰

Where it is weaker. Its contact page lists no Australian office, its incident reporting forms are for overseas regulators, and its products list names no contractor management, psychosocial, or visitor application; its industries page mentions contractor hazard pre-qualification workflows.

9. EcoOnline.

Best for: an enterprise that wants EHS and ESG reporting from one vendor.

EcoOnline names transport and logistics among its industries.⁴¹ It names incident management with root cause analysis, permit-to-work, audits and inspections, risk management, chemical management with SDS, training, and ESG reporting; its EcoAI assistant helps workers complete investigations.⁴² It launched EcoOne on 7 July 2026, which lets managers query safety and sustainability data in plain language.⁴³

Where it is weaker. The pages we read name no Australian office; Australia appears only in a country drop-down. We found no fleet, asset, contractor, or psychosocial module and no offline statement, and no price is published. It also publishes its own list for this search, with itself first.

10. Sphera.

Best for: an enterprise whose priority is product stewardship, process safety, and chemical compliance.

Sphera names incident management, contractor safety, audits, emissions, waste, and training, with SAP integration.⁴⁴ Blackstone completed its acquisition of Sphera in September 2021,⁴⁵ and Sphera added supply chain risk management through riskmethods in October 2022.⁴⁶

Where it is weaker. It publishes no Australian office, and its contractor safety software is described as mitigating third-party risk, with no licence, insurance, or site sign-in.

Also Assessed.

Cority.

Best for: an enterprise where occupational health and industrial hygiene matter as much as safety. Toronto-based Cority⁴⁷ names incident management with investigations and corrective actions, audits, risk, waste, air emissions, learning management, occupational health, and industrial hygiene, with a mobile app that works offline.⁴⁸ It acquired Meddbase, an occupational health software business, on 23 January 2025,⁴⁹ and names AI-assisted motion capture for ergonomics assessments. It scored 2 of 16 on the three tests, which puts it eleventh: its contact page lists no Australian office and it names no contractor management module.

Noggin.

Best for: a large operator where an incident can become a critical event. Noggin, now part of Motorola Solutions, names transportation, warehouse and logistics operations, and critical event management in one platform.⁵⁰ It is a resilience platform with safety modules rather than an EHS suite, and it names no environmental module beyond hazardous substances.

Environment and Emissions at Enterprise Scale.

For most operators, the environmental half of EHS is mostly fuel, chemicals, waste, and the emissions that go with a network of sites. The 10 cover it very differently. HSI Donesafe names environmental management including carbon emissions, and chemical and SDS management.² Ideagen's EHS product names hazardous substances, with a separate carbon accounting product for emissions.⁶ Evotix names chemicals and SDS, waste, and emissions management.²⁷ VelocityEHS names environmental compliance management.⁵¹ EcoOnline covers chemicals and SDS, and ESG reporting.⁴² Enablon names greenhouse gas emissions, waste, and chemical management.⁵² Intelex names waste and air emissions.⁵³ Mitti covers waste and ISO 14001 but, on the pages we read, not emissions or safety data sheets.⁵⁴

If emissions reporting is a board requirement, weight it heavily in the demo; if it is a spill kit and a chemical register at each site, most of the 10 will do.

Worked Example: Checking a Contractor Before the First Shift.

A national business runs nine sites across New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, and Western Australia. A new maintenance contractor, with two subcontractors of its own, is booked to start at three of them next month.

Under the model WHS laws, which apply everywhere except Victoria, a worker includes a contractor, a subcontractor, and a contractor's employee.⁵⁵ A business must look after, so far as is reasonably practicable, the workers it engages or causes to be engaged, and the workers whose activities it influences or directs.⁵⁶ Where more than one business has a duty over the same matter, each must consult, cooperate, and coordinate with the others, so far as is reasonably practicable.⁵⁶ None of it can be contracted out to the contractor.⁵⁷

So before the first shift, the WHS manager needs to see the contractor's insurance and licences, how its workers will be inducted to each site, and who will be on which site on which day. Then the gate needs to know whether today's worker is one of the approved ones. The board will ask a second question: which contractors were checked, when, against what, and what happened when one failed. That is evidence a director can look at, not a promise that someone checked.

Here is where most EHS suites stop. They will hold the incident and the inspection of the plant. Contractor prequalification and site sign-in are where they differ: four of the 10 meet both halves of our contractor test, which are HSI Donesafe, Ideagen EHS, VelocityEHS, and ComplyFlow. For everyone else, the contractor check lives in a contractor management system, a spreadsheet, or nowhere. Whichever you choose, test the step that matters in the demo: what happens at the gate when a worker's licence has lapsed. Our best contractor management software in Australia guide compares the platforms built for that side of the job.

What Does EHS Software Cost?

Among the suites, we found a published price only for Mitti, and its pricing page also offers a location-based option at one price per site with unlimited users.³⁷ Every other vendor in the 10 asks for a quote on the pages we read, and their own pricing pages say what drives it. Cority prices by the solutions selected, the number and type of users, and integrations, as a recurring subscription plus a one-time implementation fee.⁵⁸ Evotix prices on the number of sites, workforce size and risk profile, and modules selected.⁵⁹ HSI Donesafe prices on the number of workers, the modules, and support services.⁶⁰

For a multi-site enterprise, three questions move the quote more than any module. How many sites, because a per-site price suits a network of sites and a per-user price does not. Who counts as a user, because casuals, contractors, and labour hire can outnumber salaried staff several times over. And what implementation costs, because an enterprise suite is configured, not switched on, and the one-time fee can be a meaningful share of the first year. Ask for all three in writing before the second demo.

What a Rollout Across Nine Sites Takes.

The software is the smaller part of the job. An EHS rollout across a network of sites is mostly a change in how supervisors on night shift record things, and the suites that win in a demo can lose on the shop floor if reporting takes more than a couple of minutes on a phone.

Plan it by site, not by module. Start with incidents and hazards at one or two sites, where reporting volume will show within weeks whether people use it. Add inspections and permits next, then contractors, then environmental records. Bring the existing incident history across only if the regulator or insurer will ask for it; a clean start with a documented cut-over date is often easier to defend than a half-migrated archive.

Two things decide whether it sticks. The first is the user model, because a system that charges per casual will be rationed, and a rationed reporting system under-reports. The second is who owns the configuration after go-live: a platform you can change yourself, per state, will keep up with the notification changes coming through the WHS laws; one that needs the vendor for every change will not.

When a Suite Beats a Specialist.

An enterprise suite earns its cost when you need one reporting line across safety, environment, and occupational health, for many sites, in several countries, with integrations into ERP and HR. It loses when the risk you worry about most sits outside its strongest modules, and for many businesses that is the contractor.

The practical answer for many Australian enterprises is a suite for EHS plus a specialist for contractors, connected by API. That costs more to run than one system, and it is worth doing only if the suite's own contractor module cannot hold the checks above. Test that in the demo, not after signing.

How to Choose EHS Software for an Australian Enterprise.

Run every shortlisted platform through the same scenario, using one of your own sites:

1. Show an incident on the shop floor, reported offline, with the investigation and corrective actions.
2. Show where the "is this notifiable?" decision sits, and whether we can change it per state, because the December 2025 changes to the model WHS Act apply only as each state adopts them.⁶¹
3. Prequalify a new contractor: insurance, licences, inductions, and the competencies the job needs.
4. Show what the gate does when a contractor's worker is not approved.
5. Record a spill and show it in the environmental reporting.
6. Show one board report across all nine sites.
7. Name the people who will support us, and the timezone they work in.
8. Tell us who counts as a paid user: casuals, labour hire, contractors.

The last two questions decide more of the cost and the rollout than any feature on the list. Our safety role page, the operations role page, and the workforce compliance page cover the contractor side of the same questions, and our best incident management software in Australia guide goes deeper on the incident side.
