indefence at work

InDefence assists organisations in mitigating the risk by offering engaging, results-oriented training programs that address the full spectrum of conflict.

A PROVEN TRACK RECORD

“Keolis Downer has won multiple industry awards for the implementation of the iGard System and we have recorded a 64% reduction in recordable workplace injuries since it’s inception 5 years ago”.

Melissa Stone – HR Director, Keolis Downer, Gold Coast Light Rail

a massive point of difference

Welcome to InDefence. We help organisations establish methods of operation to address conflict in the workplace.

What sets us apart is that we help you to set legal parameters to protect staff and organisations before, during and after all levels of conflict.

There are some great workplace safety packages available however few prepare staff for the realities of serious conflict stopping short at low level assaulting behaviour (the orange level in the above diagram) but providing no guidelines to staff of what they are to do when they are being physically attacked (red in the above diagram). Instead directing staff to interpret the relevant Criminal Code pertaining to self defence.

We are dedicated to providing the very best practical operational training for workplaces. We look forward to helping your organisation enhance the safety of your staff.

ANOTHER amazing testimonial

InDefence were very professional and friendly to deal with right from my initial enquiry. All of the attendees on the training day were women and found the training environment very friendly, and relaxed, I can put this down to the fact that Ash is an excellent instructor. The training session was very well structured with an equal emphasis on body and mind, delivering tools for defending ourselves against both verbal or physical attacks. Ash trained our members with passion and focused heavily on the right attitude towards conflict resolution.

These skill will be very valuable not just for my members in a work environment but for life in general. All of the members loved the training session and have expressed interest to attend regular classes!

I would highly recommend InDefence for anyone who is serious about their well-being.

Thanks Anna & Ash.
