Drona VR for Australian industrial plants.

Drona VR supports Australian deployments across mining (Pilbara iron ore, Bowen Basin coal, Mount Isa polymetallic), oil & gas (LNG export, NW Shelf, Gladstone), construction and healthcare. Australian compliance mapping covers the WHS Act 2011 and harmonised state regulations, Safe Work Australia codes of practice, AS/NZS ISO 45001, NOPSEMA (offshore O&G), ICMM mining standards, NSW Resources Regulator, Queensland Mining Safety, and AS/NZS 4801 (legacy).

Compliance map for Australia

Regulatory frameworks we map to.

Drona VR scenarios are calibrated to the regulatory frameworks Australia plants are audited against. Compliance mapping is part of the year-one engagement; audit-trail records are produced in the format auditors expect.

WHS Act 2011 (harmonised)
The Work Health and Safety Act is harmonised across most Australian jurisdictions. Mandates competent worker training and PCBU (Person Conducting a Business or Undertaking) duties.
Safe Work Australia Codes of Practice
Model codes cover risk management, confined spaces, working at heights, hazardous chemicals, and many other operational areas. Adopted as approved codes by regulators across most jurisdictions.
AS/NZS ISO 45001
OH&S management system standard. Adopted across virtually all Australian Tier-1 industrial operators. Replaces AS/NZS 4801.
NOPSEMA
National Offshore Petroleum Safety and Environmental Management Authority. Regulates offshore O&G — safety case regime, performance standards, competent persons.
ICMM Safety Performance Indicators
International Council on Mining and Metals — Critical Control Management framework. Adopted by Australian Tier-1 miners (BHP, Rio Tinto, Anglo American, Newcrest, Glencore).
NSW Resources Regulator / Queensland Mining Safety
State mining regulators with specific operator-competency requirements — coal mine workers, surface workings, underground statutory roles.
AS/NZS 4801 (legacy)
Older OHS management standard — still referenced in some legacy procurement and contract documents. Drona VR training records support both 4801 and ISO 45001 audit formats.
ADG Code (Dangerous Goods)
Australian Dangerous Goods Code — operator training for handling, classification, packaging and transport.

Drona VR in Australia — questions buyers ask.

Direct answers to the questions Australia procurement teams put to us before evaluation.

Does Drona VR support ICMM Critical Control Management framework?

Yes. The mining playbook scenario library is structured around ICMM's Critical Control Management approach — operator-level rehearsal of critical control verification, bow-tie hazard scenarios and major unwanted event response. Used at Tier-1 Australian mining operators.

Are NOPSEMA safety case requirements supported?

Yes. For offshore O&G, Drona VR provides operator training records aligned to safety case performance standards and competent persons frameworks. Particularly used for SIMOPS, hot work permits and helideck operations training.

How does training delivery work for remote Pilbara and Bowen Basin sites?

Drona VR runs entirely offline on the headset — no Wi-Fi required at the site. Hardware can be shipped to mine sites, training delivered by visiting trainers (initial rollout) or site supervisors (steady-state), and learner data syncs at the depot or camp.

Are there Australian data residency considerations?

Drona VR can host customer data in AWS Sydney region. Customer training data is tenant-isolated. Privacy Act 1988 (Australian Privacy Principles) compliant. SOC 2 audit available under NDA. State-level mining regulator data-handling requirements supported on request.
