Originally established for the sole purpose of accrediting OHS professional education programs the Accreditation Board has taken on a much broader role in OHS professional education to include custodian of the OHS Body of Knowledge and, where appropriate support OHS research. These broader activities are made possible through Supporting Partners who share the vision with the Accreditation Board of quality OHS professional education and capable OHS professionals being vital to improved health and safety in Australian workplaces.
Supporting partners are an integral part of the activities of the Accreditation Board and the Accreditation Board considers that there should be a range of benefits for the Supporting Partner. Supporting partners are:

- Included in opportunities for engagement with the WHS research and education community and the OHS Body of Knowledge.
- Supporting partners also demonstrate their commitment to the Australian Work Health and Safety in a very visible manner.
