Workplace safety law in ACT
How WHS law works in Australian Capital Territory
In the Australian Capital Territory, work health and safety is governed by the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (ACT) and the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011 (ACT), based on the national model laws and administered by WorkSafe ACT.
Many Canberra businesses work on both sides of the border. Queanbeyan, for example, is in New South Wales, where the NSW Work Health and Safety Regulation 2025 applies and SafeWork NSW is the regulator. We write your documents for the jurisdiction where the work is actually carried out.
