Expanded WHS Incident-Notification Rules Across Australia

Australia has broadened its WHS incident-notification requirements, meaning employers must now report violent incidents, work-related suicides or attempts, and absences of 15+ days due to work-related injury or illness. These updates ensure psychological harm and long recovery periods are treated as seriously as physical injuries. Any event posing a risk to a worker's mental or physical health must now be reported promptly to support stronger WHS compliance.
