At its meeting on Tuesday 3 December 2024 Council adopted the Work Health, Safety and Wellbeing Policy and resolved to place it on Public Exhibition.

What is this policy about?

­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­The Work Health, Safety and Wellbeing Policy sets out how Council promotes and manages the health, safety and wellbeing of our people and the public at our workplaces and the key legal roles and responsibilities of our people.

The purpose of this policy is to establish a framework for the management of the work health, safety and wellbeing of Council Officials, service providers/service partners, employees of service providers/service partners, volunteers and visitors to Council workplaces or in the performance of their duties. This policy demonstrates Council’s compliance with the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 and other related legislation.

This policy applies to workers, Councillors, Council Officers, workers, volunteers, students, visitors and service providers across all Council workplaces. Council workplaces include any place where work is carried out for Council or any place where a worker goes, or is likely to, whilst at work. This scope encompasses the local government area where Council properties and utilities are located and where residents access and make use of Council services.
