Safe Work Australia is the national policy agency responsible for workplace health and safety (WHS) and workers’ compensation arrangements in Australia. Since 2009, Safe Work Australia have conducted a national campaign during October to raise awareness of WHS and provide resources for Australian workplaces to run their own events.
