Work Health and Safety Bill – cooperative federalism
Work Health & Safety has been traditionally managed by individual states in Australia. However in recent times states have been convening and discussing a work health and safety bill to cover all jurisdictions.
The Bill was rubber stamped recently and is scheduled to start on 1 January 2012.
The upshot is that whether you work in Qld, NSW or WA you will be uniformly covered by the same legislation in those states.
