Safe Work Australia has released an online version of the model Code of Practice: Healthcare and social assistance industry, making this important guidance easier to access and use. 

The online model Code provides the same guidance as the published text-based version, now presented in a clear, user-friendly, web-based format to support easier navigation and use. 

Designed to support employers and workers across Australia’s largest and fastest growing sector – employing more than 2 million people and recording the highest number of work-related injuries – the online model Code provides clear, practical advice to help manage workplace risks and meet work health and safety (WHS) duties.

Developed in consultation with industry stakeholders and Safe Work Australia Members, the online model Code aims to make WHS guidance accessible to everyone working across this diverse sector.

Explore the online model Code today by visiting our website.
