The Port Waratah workforce compliance process is completed in two parts:
- Company Registration and Accreditation, and
- Worker Induction and Competency Management.
We suggest you read through the instructions and give yourself time to source the information needed to work for Port Waratah.
Your nominated administrators will complete this process for your business and each worker (employee).
User guides with screenshots can be found on the Help and Resources page.

Step 6 > Manual Audit / SMS Review (if required)
Depending on the work your organisation performs (as identified in Step 3), you may be required to complete a SMS review (Manual Audit), which is an independent desktop audit of your Work Health and Safety documents by a qualified WHS professional.

You must complete all prequalification requirements for Port Waratah before your company will be considered compliant.
To reach full compliance to work for Port Waratah, you must next register your workers.
Stage 2: Worker Induction and Competency Management +
Step 1 > Login to the Induction and Competency Management System
From the Connect system, select the Workers tile in the left-hand menu, then select Pegasus Workforce.
If you don’t immediately see the Port Waratah tile, click on the Add or Remove Portals and select the Port Waratah tile.
Step 2 > Add workers
Select Manage Roles and then Add New Employee to enter each worker’s details. Use each worker’s personal email address and mobile number, as they will receive important emails regarding expiring competencies and additional tools to access.
If your worker already exists, simply click on their profile.
Step 3 > Pay for worker registration, inductions, and access ID card
Pay for your worker’s registration and induction, and order their access ID cards to work for Port Waratah.
– Worker registration costs $76.76 + GST per person for the first year for the management of roles, verification of documents, and supply of card.
– Annual renewal costs $76.76 + GST per person
– Replacement cards are $34.50 + GST
A tax invoice will be supplied on payment.
Please note: Workers without Port Waratah site access cards will receive two when registered for the first time or booked for induction/re-induction: a card, and a blank card with a Port Waratah sticker to be used for site access
Workers with original Port Waratah site access cards will receive a card when registered for the first time or booked for induction/re-induction. Their existing Port Waratah card will still give them site access.
Step 4 > Add roles, upload documents and book training
You will next select your worker’s name to Add New Role and choose the role/s they’ll perform for Port Waratah.
Your selections will determine the competency documents (licences, cards and qualifications) you’ll upload in the system to prove your worker can perform the chosen role/s.
At this time, you will also book your worker’s online inductions. They will be emailed a link and login details.
Documents validation and applies roles
The documents you’ve uploaded during registration will be validated. You’ll be emailed if there are any issues and given a chance to update the information. Upon document approval and induction completion, the roles will be applied to your worker’s profile and their ID cards printed and sent. If the worker already has a Port Waratah access card, their details will be updated in the Port Waratah security system.
You may also wish to invite your registered employees to the Worker Portal, where they can manage their own compliance. Simply select the Invite Employee option from their profile. Visit the Worker Portal page for more information.
It’s important that you keep worker’s details up to date, and you’ll be emailed about expiring documents and information to stay compliant.
