Updated handbook for Commonwealth Health and Safety Representatives

6 March 2024


The Comcare Health and Safety Representative (HSR) Handbook has been revised to reflect recent amendments to the Commonwealth work health and safety (WHS) laws and updates to the Safe Work Australia Worker Representation and Participation Guide.

Comcare’s handbook helps HSRs understand how to perform their functions and exercise their powers under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011.

The handbook is also a useful resource for others who need to understand HSR powers and functions, and any obligations they may have regarding HSRs.
