Emergency Services uniforms are more than just the brand name, distinct colours and strips of reflective tape. They are the vehicle that will keep front line workers safe, which is paramount to ensuring they make it home to their families after a hard day at work. And this is why the end-wearer is at the core of everything we do at Workwear Group.
Workwear Group has accumulated over 30 years’ experience servicing the Emergency Services sector. With industry leading design, product and service expertise, Workwear Group tailor solutions to meet each of our Emergency partners’ unique requirements.
In order to service our clients, we have in-house design, fabric and garment experts that search the globe to find the latest and greatest in uniform solutions for the front line and adapt these to our clients’ unique requirements.
One of our latest innovation projects is the development of fire retardant ensembles to enhance our new Wildlands range and a structural fireboot, offering a head to toe solution. Head designer Arthur Thomasse says, “The development was driven from what we were seeing in the market for Non-Fire Retardant traditional workwear.”
Coming back to the Workwear Group headquarters based in Port Melbourne, the team worked back with current clients to establish what were the most important factors when wearing their uniform, in particular the Wildlands range.
Thomasse continues, “After talking with a number of clients, it was clear that next-to-skin comfort is an absolute must, with the ability to have full range of movement. We’ve taken a total system integration approach to the designs.” With this in mind, our design team and technicians went to work to develop the necessary features and benefits for a Wildlands range.
Underpinned by Wesfarmers, Workwear Group strive to meet the strict guidelines set by local and international bodies, and as part of the development process of the ensembles and fireboot, rigorous testing has commenced in Australia, New Zealand and Europe.

Vicky Wynn-Williams, Head of Merchandising Uniforms comments, “With the development of the Wildlands ensembles, we have introduced smarter fabrics and trims, as well as further enhancing the fit and reducing the weight of the garments resulting in minimizing fatigue on the wearer. As a business that values Safety First, this ticks all the boxes.”
To support our offering of a uniform solution from head to toe, the fireboot in development, HERO 365 is certified to the Structural fireboot standards: ASNZS4821:201, EN1509, EN ISO 20345:2011 H13
Not only do we believe this boot has a great aesthetic, it will stand up amongst its competitors with some truly unique features:
