Online survey for mid-term review of the National Return to Work Strategy 2020-2030

It’s been almost 5 years since the launch of the National Return to Work Strategy 2020-2030, our 10-year strategy to drive and leverage national action to improve return to work outcomes for workers with a work-related injury or illness. We’re now undertaking a mid-term review of the Strategy to ensure it remains influential, responsive and on track, and we want to hear from you! Your feedback will help us assess the effectiveness of the Strategy in the first 5 years of implementation and assist in identifying key areas of focus for its remaining 5 years.

Consultation on the draft model Code of Practice: Managing fatigue risks at work

Safe Work Australia (SWA) is developing a model Code of Practice which provides guidance for PCBUs (employers and organisations) on fatigue risks at work. This draft model Code of Practice has been developed with the support of Safe Work Australia Members and other safety regulators.

The purpose of the consultation is to seek a wide range of views on the draft model Code. Responses from public consultation will be used to refine the draft model Code and ensure it:

• assists duty holders determine what is reasonably practicable to manage fatigue hazards, and
• is broadly applicable across all industries.
