NSW Regulates WHS Risks Arising from Digital Work Systems

The NSW Parliament passed the Work Health and Safety Amendment (Digital Work Systems) Bill 2025 (NSW) on February 12, 2026, making NSW the first state in Australia to regulate digital work systems in WHS laws. The bill introduces a primary duty of care to ensure workers' health and safety is not put at risk by digital work systems, which are defined as algorithms, artificial intelligence, automation, or online platforms.
