Munro Respiratory Services

Munro Respiratory Services is a Central West NSW-based provider of respiratory fit testing and silica awareness training, supporting businesses across high-risk industries including mining, construction, quarrying, and drilling. Founded by Kate Munro in 2026, the company was established to address a gap in the market for providers who understand both compliance requirements and the day-to-day realities of these industries.

The business delivers mandatory silica awareness training and annual mask fit testing for workers exposed to high-risk crystalline silica substances. Services are available on-site or remotely across NSW, with training records provided upon completion and certificates issued promptly after fit testing sessions.

The company targets businesses in mining, construction, quarrying, drilling, and exploration where workers process or work in locations with a high risk of exposure to crystalline silica dust. They also serve any NSW worker involved in processing high-risk crystalline silica substances as mandated by new laws.

Clients can book services by enquiring online or contacting the business directly via phone or email. The website provides an enquiry form where users can specify their interest in respiratory/mask fit testing or silica awareness training.

Silica awareness training costs from $75 per person excluding GST, while annual mask fit testing is priced from $100 per person excluding GST. These rates cover the mandatory training and testing required under NSW WHS Regulation starting from September 2024.

The company operates out of Sydney NSW and services teams across the entire state of NSW. They are described as a local team with deep ties to the mining and exploration industry in the Central West region.

The team includes founder Kate Munro, National Program Manager Kate O’Connor, and Fit Tester and Administration Jemma Munro. O’Connor holds a Bachelor of Nursing, a Master's in Public Health, and Fit Tester Certification, while Jemma has a Bachelor of Nursing and Certificates III & IV in Fitness.

The business has been operating since 2026, founded to fill a gap created by new NSW regulations requiring annual fit testing and silica awareness training. It was built to help businesses comply with laws that came into effect around that time.

Clients can reach the team by calling 0494 689 646 or emailing info@munrorespiratory.com.au. The website also features a contact form for sending messages directly to the business.

The company states that their trainers and testers know the dust, equipment, and working conditions because they have lived them, which translates into training that resonates with workers and testing that holds up to scrutiny.

The business claims to make compliance and safety simpler by providing a fully mobile service and handling all paperwork so teams can focus on their work. They also offer automated reminders when the next fit test is due.

The company states that after a Munro session, a team will be fully certified and the business will be protected. They also mention that fit testing takes approximately 15-20 minutes per person with a quick turnaround on certificates.

The business notes that fit testing is required before first use and every 12 months after, covering P2/N95, half-face, and full-face respirators. They also mention that the training covers all industries including mining, drilling, quarrying, construction, and exploration.
