Compliance is getting more complex and more expensive.

Clients, principal contractors and professionals are asked for more appointments, more competencies, more medicals and more paperwork every year. Which of it is law, and which of it is just habit?

Legislated

What the law requires

The competencies, appointments and records the OHS Act and its regulations make mandatory, including the new regulations being implemented.

Professional

What your profession expects

Obligations from professional bodies and registration requirements that sit alongside the legislation.

Nice-to-have

What you might not need

Services and duplicated requirements that add cost without adding compliance, and how to tell the difference.

Who should attend

Regulators, professional bodies, industry experts and specialist providers, all in one morning.
