Consultation updates

4 May 2022

Thank you to participants for providing input. We have reviewed all feedback submitted.

The feedback helped to shape the Work Health and Safety Amendment (Demolition Licensing) Regulation 2022 (the Regulation).

The Regulation was approved by the NSW Government on 21 September 2022. It began on 1 March 2023, except for the new training provision which will begin on 1 March 2025.

The Regulation amendments to the WHS Regulation 2017 transition the demolition licensing regime from the repealed Occupational Health and Safety Regulation 2001 to the WHS Regulation. A list of key changes can be found on SafeWork NSW’s Legislation page.
