The model WHS Acts, Regulations and codes of practice tracked
as they move: what changed, who it binds and from when, each cited to the primary
instrument.
Commencement dates from 2017 to 2024, maximum penalties from $10 million to
life imprisonment, and a model penalty that re-indexed days ago. The table every
multi-state duty holder needs, cited to each regulator.
The December 2025 incident notification amendment expands what PCBUs must tell
the regulator, once your jurisdiction adopts it. The current rules, the coming
ones, and a live example of the reporting loop working.
Two million workers, the worst claims record in the country, and a July 2025
code that says patient care never outranks worker safety. What aged care
providers now have to show.
One model law, nine implementations, one holdout state. What a PCBU is, what
officers owe, what codes of practice legally are, and what is about to change.
