Why Commonwealth Workplaces Need Comcare-Trained HSRS
Commonwealth agencies and self-insured organisations operate under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (Cth), regulated by Comcare. Elected Health and Safety Representatives (HSRs) play a vital role in ensuring workers’ voices are heard, risks are managed, and workplaces remain compliant across the federal system.
Understand the Comcare System
Learn how the Commonwealth WHS Act differs from state systems, and what powers HSRs have under federal legislation.
Represent and Consult Effectively
Develop the skills to raise safety concerns, communicate with PCBUS, and lead consultation in diverse government and self-insured settings.
Strengthen Compliance Across Agencies
Turn legal obligations into practical steps that keep Commonwealth and self-insured workplaces safe, consistent, and audit-ready.
Turn rules into action
Know exactly when and how to act, including PINs and unsafe work.
