Behind every milestone in Programmedâs history are the people who shaped it.
In the early years, team members like Graham and Len dedicated years to helping grow the business, supporting Programmed through change, growth and long-term client relationships. đ¤
For 75 years, Programmed has been shaped by people who stayed, grew and helped build something bigger than themselves.
Decades of dedication. Built by our people. đ

One vehicle. Three painters. đ
A simple idea, maintenance. But planned. đ ď¸
That idea became Programmed.
75 years later, weâre still built on it.
Simplifying maintenance since 1951.

Understanding dynamic loads is a critical requirement for safe forklift operation.
A dynamic load is one that can shift during movement, for example, a half-filled water palletcon.
As the forklift operates, the load and equipment move together.
Braking, turning, lifting, and lowering all affect the centre of gravity and overall stability.
When these factors are not properly managed, there is an increased risk of load shift, loss of control, or tip-over.
The licensed forklift operator must identify the dynamic loads, understand how the centre of gravity changes during operation, and apply controlled movements to maintain stability of the load and forklift.
This type of training supports safe work practices and reduces the risk of incidents when operating powered mobile plant.
Our training focuses on developing operators who can apply these principles in real workplace conditions.

Work safe. Work smart. Work & Smile.

On 25 April, we pause to honour the courage, service and sacrifice of those who have served, past and present.
ANZAC Day commemorates the landing at Gallipoli during the First World War, and continues to hold deep meaning across generations, reminding us of the values of courage, mateship, resilience and service.
At Programmed, weâre proud to recognise the many Defence connections across our workforce, including veterans and those with family ties to service. We thank you for the experience and perspective you bring every day.
However you choose to mark the day, we encourage a moment of reflection.
Lest we forget.

Only get it done if it can be done safely.
Getting the job done matters, but doing it safely matters more.
When work feels familiar, itâs easy to move straight into action. Taking a moment to reset your focus before you begin can help prevent small risks from becoming bigger issues.
Switch on before you start up, and letâs ensure zero harm every day.
Safety. Think about it.

As parents / guardians, we all want our kids to leave school with confidence - not confusion.
In collaboration with schools, weâre helping parents understand pathways that combine education with real-world experience during and post school.
Because today, students can:
â Build skills and confidence during school
â Gain real workplace experience early
â Transition into meaningful careers after school
Join Sarah Renshaw to learn how it all works:
đš School-based traineeships (during school)
đš Traineeships & apprenticeships (after school)
More importantly - youâll walk away with the knowledge and tools to help create opportunities for your child⌠and even their friends.
When schools and parents work together, we donât just support one student - we lift a whole community.
