Thank you to everyone who shared their feedback. Your contribution helped inform the new code of practice.

SafeWork NSW has published the new Worker accommodation code of practice.

The new code replaces the 2006 Accommodation for rural agricultural work code of practice.

Following consultation with stakeholders, we have created a new code that better meets modern safety standards and new ways of working. The code provides information and guidance to make sure employers that provide accommodation for their workers manage any risks according to current work health and safety laws.

Tell us what you think

We are asking for your feedback to make sure the code:

• is relevant
• is easy to understand
• supports current and emerging work practices and technologies.

Your response will help ensure the new code supports industry needs and protects workers and the community.
