Further Advice

SWA is not a regulator and cannot advise you about WHS issues in the workplace. If you need help please contact your state or territory work health and safety authority.

Incident notifications need to be made directly to WHS Regulators. Contact your WHS Regulator for advice on how to make a notification.
