Sally McLeod is the Head of Safety at PwC Australia, based in Melbourne. She brings extensive experience across health, safety and wellbeing in complex corporate environments, supported by a strong background in occupational rehabilitation and injury management that informs her end‑to‑end view of health and safety in practice.
Sally’s work focuses on driving sustainable culture change through behavioural safety, leadership capability and performance enablement. Drawing on her rehabilitation and injury management experience, she understands the full lifecycle of health and safety—from prevention and risk management through to recovery, return to work and sustained performance. This perspective enables her to design and deliver initiatives that are both human‑centred and commercially grounded.

She partners closely with leaders and teams to embed safety as a core organisational value, moving beyond compliance to create environments where people feel accountable, supported and empowered to perform at their best. Sally has led and contributed to enterprise‑wide health and safety programs, supported major organisational change, and influenced leaders at all levels to adopt safer, more resilient ways of working.
Particularly passionate about the role of leadership behaviours in shaping safety culture, Sally brings a balanced and pragmatic voice that connects risk, wellbeing and performance. She is committed to helping organisations build safety cultures that not only protect people but also enable sustainable business outcomes.
