Creating safe and healthy workplaces has always been core union business.
In the next few weeks WHS Ministers from every State, Territory, and Federal government will vote on recommendations that could make our workplaces safer – but they need to hear from you.

- Reduce instances of workplace sexual harassment;
- Improve or eliminate risks to mental health;
- Hold employers accountable for negligence causing death; and
- Strengthen rights for health and safety representatives.
But not enough Ministers have committed to adopt these changes.
Can you send an email to these Ministers about how important it is that Government supports the improvements to work safety laws?

You have the power to continue making work safer for every worker in the country.
