Effective regulatory frameworks

Our regulatory frameworks involve more than just the legislation we administer, they also encompass our Codes of Practice, forms, internal processes and the guidance materials we publish and maintain.

To ensure they are effective, we need to consider whether our frameworks continue to operate as intended and if they need to adapt to capture new technologies and the changing nature of work.

In 2021–2026, our focus will be towards implementation of agreed recommendations from the national Review of the Model Work Health and Safety Laws (the Boland Review) and the local Electrical Safety Review.
