Our Story
Workex was built on the belief that safety and compliance shouldn’t be a burden and that it should be seamless, intuitive, and built to support the people who keep the industry running.
As tradies, we lived the frustration of filling out endless paperwork, chasing signatures, and navigating complex compliance processes that took time away from the job. It felt outdated. We knew there had to be a smarter way.
That’s why we created Workex! Bridging the gap between compliance and efficiency. By harnessing AI-driven automation, we simplify the documentation process and reduce human error, and ensure businesses stay compliant without the headache.
But this isn’t just about paperwork. It’s about improving the way the industry operates. It’s about empowering workers with tools that don’t just meet safety standards but elevate them. Workex is built for those who believe compliance should be effortless, operations should be streamlined, and businesses should have the confidence to focus on what they do best… Production!
— We believe this is the future of the industry.

A note from the founder
Why I Started Workex
"As a tradesman, I was exhausted by the never-ending cycle of compliance paperwork such as permits, safety forms, and documentation that seemed to slow down the job rather than support it. Every time I filled out another form, I’d think, “It’s 2025! There has to be a better way.”
That frustration turned into action, and Workex was born. I set out to create a smarter, more efficient way for workers to handle compliance. One that didn’t involve drowning in paperwork but instead streamlined the process with technology. Workex is about making compliance effortless so tradies can focus on what they do best, getting the job done safely and efficiently".
