Government Health & Safety Software FAQs

What are the federal H&S duties in Australia?

Under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011, Australian Government agencies have a duty to provide a safe and healthy environment for their workers, contractors, and others affected by their work. This includes managing risks, consulting with employees, providing training, and maintaining safe systems of work across all operations.

How does software support government safety compliance?

Health and safety software helps public sector organisations manage incidents, risks, and compliance tasks from a central platform. It streamlines reporting, tracks corrective actions, automates audits, and ensures consistent processes across departments, supporting safer workplaces and regulatory alignment.

Who regulates WHS in Australian public departments?

Comcare regulates WHS for Commonwealth agencies under federal jurisdiction. State and territory public departments are overseen by their local regulators, such as SafeWork NSW, WorkSafe Victoria, and WHSQ. These regulators enforce WHS laws, provide guidance, and carry out investigations.

What are common risks in government workplaces?

Public sector risks include manual handling, psychosocial hazards, slips and falls, occupational violence, and vehicle-related incidents. Each agency has different risk profiles, but all must identify, assess, and manage hazards to meet their health and safety obligations.

Can software track H&S across multiple government sites?

Yes. The right health and safety software will support multi-site operations by consolidating data and standardising workflows. You can manage site-specific risks, generate centralised reports, and ensure consistent practices across regions, departments, and facilities.

How can local councils streamline incident reporting?

The right digital H&S platforms simplify incident reporting by allowing staff to log issues via mobile or desktop. Councils can capture photos, track follow-ups, and receive real-time alerts, reducing paperwork and speeding up response times across community services and field teams.
