Safe Work Australia is inviting all those with an interest in WHS to participate and provide feedback through our formal consultation process. You can contribute to the review in whatever form is most convenient for you – through a written submission in response to the discussion paper, by completing the survey on the Safe Work Australia Consultation Hub or by contacting us directly (via the bestpracticereview@swa.gov.au email address). In assessing proposals for change, Safe Work Australia Members and WHS ministers will consider whether they strengthen and maintain harmonisation, reflect best practice and support the object of the model WHS Act.
The formal consultation process, including written submissions, will close at 5:00 pm on Monday 3 November 2025. However, we will continue to meet with interested parties until the end of March 2026 and feedback can be provided using the best practice email address above until that date as well. A final report with the findings and recommendations from the Best Practice Review will be provided to WHS ministers in mid-2026.
I look forward to reading and hearing your contributions.
