SafeWork NSW is the state’s workplace health and safety regulator. Our focus is to protect NSW workers by preventing and reducing work related fatalities, serious injuries, and illnesses by securing compliance with work health and safety and associated legislation.

SafeWork NSW is undergoing an exciting and important period of transformation as we establish the organisation as a modern, strong and standalone Work Health and Safety Regulator. 

About the team

SafeWork NSW Operations Regional directorate has a strategic approach to supporting safe, healthy, and productive workplaces in Regional NSW.

• Share updates and information to ensure compliance with legislation and industry best practice.
