About Adelaide Safety Training

Committed to Safety

Adelaide Safety Training (AST) is a South Australian owned and operated safety training organisation, proudly led by industry professionals Robert and Luke Robinson. With decades of real-world experience across construction, manufacturing, mining and high-risk workplaces, AST delivers practical, nationally accredited training that helps people work safely and confidently.

We believe effective safety training must be relevant, hands-on and delivered by trainers who understand the realities of the job. That is why our courses focus on practical skills, clear instruction and real-life scenarios, whether training is delivered at our Adelaide training centre or onsite across metropolitan, regional and remote South Australia.

Our mission is simple. To equip individuals, organisations and communities with the skills, knowledge and confidence to respond when it matters most.
