We are honoured to deliver the new Mental Health Precinct at North West Regional Hospital, and our team is focused on delivering a high-quality facility for the local community while keeping daily disruptions to a minimum.

Over the coming weeks, our primary focus will be preparing the site footprint and installing safety fencing around the perimeter. Neighbours and visitors will see our heavy machinery arriving as we break ground for the new access route.

We are proud to partner with the Department of Health on this transformative project. Our site team is committed to maintaining open communication, adhering strictly to approved working guidelines, and working safely alongside the hospital precinct.

Thank you for your co-operation as we build this vital community asset. For any general enquiries, feel free to reach out to DoH directly, keep an eye out on their social pages and visit www.health.tas.gov.au/priority-projects for more information.

🏥 Construction of the new Mental Health Precinct at the North West Regional Hospital will begin today, with local contractor Vos Group appointed to build the facility.

The new 22-bed Mental Health Precinct will replace the current Spencer Clinic and provide contemporary mental health services, healing gardens, open spaces and therapeutic outdoor areas for consumers, visitors and staff.

Usual site working hours will be between 7:00 am and 5:00 pm, Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays.

Works will begin with the construction of a temporary access road for construction vehicles from Uplands Place.

There will be no construction traffic on Hospital Road, with regular access maintained for staff, patients and visitors.

During construction, the community may notice: 👇
• Detours on Uplands Place for pedestrians, cyclists and drivers, where required.
• Increased noise and vehicle movements around the site.
• Construction vehicles accessing the site via Uplands Place.

We’ll continue to share updates as the project progresses.

Thank you for your patience while we complete this essential work.

It was a pleasure hosting the Huonville High School students! We love having the opportunity to share what we do and hopefully inspire the next generation of builders, joiners, and industry leaders.

We are thrilled to announce that our Glass & Aluminium business has won the 2026 Australian Glass & Window Association (AGWA) Commercial Window or Glass Project ($250,000–$750,000) award for the UTAS Forestry & Timber Yards Building ‘The Forest’ project!

This project revived and restored an existing structure in Hobart’s C*D, turning it into a calm, natural learning space. By blending raw materials with thoughtful design, the space pays homage to Hobart's architectural heritage while creating an inspiring environment for the future.

Viridian 13.52 Evant custom laminate glass was selected for its unique interlayer and light reflectivity properties, which draw natural light and sky reflection deep into the building, while maintaining privacy for internal offices. The finish beautifully balances the warmth of the Tasmanian oak timber framing and sustainable hempcrete pods.

A huge congratulations to Leading Hand Mark Boud and his team. Mark led this major project with exceptional workmanship, clear communication, and meticulous attention to detail from start to finish. Outstanding effort!

Thank you to our main contractor partner at Hansen Yuncken, as well as the entire team of architects, builders, and subcontractors who brought this vision to life. It was an absolute privilege to contribute to an award-winning landmark space that you truly have to experience in person to appreciate.

This week, we proudly commenced our fourth Emerging Leaders Program (ELP) in five years.

The Vos ELP is a six-month, in-house leadership development program designed and facilitated by our experienced Vos leaders, with support from external leadership and management experts.

Through a combination of interactive workshops and individual coaching sessions, the program equips our emerging leaders with the knowledge, skills and confidence to lead, support and grow our people, while also placing a strong focus on their own health and wellbeing.

The program covers a broad range of practical leadership topics, including:

• DISC behavioural awareness
• Leadership v managing fundamentals
• Health, wellbeing and resilience
• Individual and team goal setting
• Effective communication
• Difficult conversations and role play
• Leading and managing change
• Managing up
• Building high-performing teams
• Self-awareness and personal leadership

We believe great leaders are developed, not simply appointed. Investing in our people and creating opportunities for them to grow is an important part of building the future of Vos Group.

A big welcome to our latest ELP participants — we look forward to seeing you develop, challenge yourselves and grow as leaders over the next six months.

Investing in our people. Building better leaders. Building the future of Vos.

🏆 Great workplaces don't happen by accident – 2026 Employer of Choice Award 🏆

We're proud to share that Vos Group has been named a 2026 Tasmanian Employer of Choice under the Tasmanian Government's Employer of Choice Recognition Program — an accolade given to organisations that genuinely invest in their people and build workplaces where staff want to stay and grow. 💪

Our People, Safety & Systems Manager, Kim Dillon, accepted the award from Minister for Skills and Jobs Felix Ellis MP, joined by (L to R): Mollie Ford (Carpenter), Anna Bennett (PSS Adviser), Stuart Percey (Shopfitting Business Unit Manager), Kurt Jones (CEO), Kim Dillon (PSS Manager), Darren Vos (Chairperson), Mark Cocker (QHSE Manager) & Jack Lynch (Site Manager).

In his address, Kim made a point of saying our people strategies have never been about ticking a box — it's about the initiatives that actually deliver real, positive outcomes for our people. ✅

So what got us here? Not one single thing — a few things working together:

🌱 Our Emerging Leaders Program, quietly building the next generation of Vos Group leaders

🎯 Real investment in spotting talent early, with individual career plans so people see a future here

🤝 Proactive employee assistance, including our own team of Mental Health First-Aiders at every level of the business

🙌 A Reward and Recognition Program where our people nominate each other for living our values, backed by gift cards and a personal letter from leadership

🔨 Modernised apprentice assessment centres that have opened the door to greater diversity — including growing female participation in our trades

None of it works without the values underneath it. Relationships, Integrity, Safety and Quality aren't words on a poster for us — they shape how we make decisions and how we treat each other, on-site and off.

💬 "What drew me to Vos Group was its reputation and career-driven culture, and since joining in 2012, I've had endless opportunities to grow toward my goal of becoming a Site Manager. The annual PDR program keeps me focused on my progress toward my career goals, while the Reward and Recognition program has shown me how much nominating peers for their hard work strengthens our team culture.

Our yearly Business Unit meetings bring site teams, management and HR together, often with guest speakers on health and wellbeing, and encourage us to use the EAP whenever we need it.

But the Emerging Leaders Program has been the most impactful part of my journey — the 12-month training gave me life skills as much as management skills that have shaped me as a person and leader. Vos Group's commitment to growth and wellbeing is why I'm still here after over a decade." — Jack Lynch, Site Manager

Awards like this aren't really about a plaque or a headline. They're a nod to everyone who shows up and makes Vos Group the kind of place worth working for. So — thank you. 🙌
