Comcare administers the regulation of the Occupational Health and Safety Act 1991 (OHS Act) and its activities include:
- managing compliance and enforcement activities under the OHS Act
- promoting prevention as the primary means of reducing human and financial costs of injury and disease, identifying and targeting priorities and evaluating results, and
- development and administration of safety policy aimed at improving the regulatory framework to ensure that it provides strong accountability, reflects risks and is outcome based.
The OHS Act is supported by a framework of legislative instruments (regulations and approved codes of practice) which provide guidance to employers and others on how the requirements of the legislation can be met.
