Help shape SafeWork NSW's regulatory priorities for the 2025/26 financial year
SafeWork NSW is the state's work health and safety regulator. Our purpose is to secure safe and healthy workplaces so every worker in NSW returns home safely each day.
To achieve this, we must focus our resources on areas where they will have the most impact, preventing death, injury and illness in high-risk workplaces.
Informed by research, data and consultation with stakeholders, we are proposing five regulatory priorities for the 2025/26 financial year. Visit the SafeWork NSW website for relevant information on:
- falls from heights
- harms to workers in the health care and social assistance sector
- manage psychosocial risks at work including the risk of sexual harassment
- exposure to hazardous chemicals including silica, asbestos and welding fumes
- injury from mobile plant, vehicles or fixed machinery.
For more information on the proposed priorities, refer to our consultation paper.
