The final version of the model Work Health and Safety Act was endorsed by the Workplace Relations Ministers’ Council (WRMC) in December 2010.
As the harmonised work health and safety laws will not be federal law, each state and territory government, along with the Commonwealth Government, will administer the laws in their jurisdiction, with each to enact a mirrored version of the Work Health and Safety Act and Regulations. This may result in some jurisdictional differences, with each government able to amend the legislation to meet its specific needs, so long as it does not materially affect the operation of the legislation.
