Jamie Holmes

Principal Consultant, MXM Institute

Jamie founded MXM Institute after more than 20 years in senior operational leadership roles across Australian business, including direct accountability for workplace health and safety within a large, multi-site, high-risk operation. He has spent his career treating safety as a core part of how a business actually runs, not a compliance box to tick – balancing legal obligation with the practical realities of getting the job done.

He holds a Certificate IV in Work Health and Safety (BSB41419) and brings that same operational, no-nonsense approach to every MXM Institute WHS engagement. Every audit, gap analysis and management system he builds is grounded in what has actually worked on the ground, not generic templates – designed to hold up under real operating conditions, and to genuinely protect the people relying on it.
