In July 2011, the Federal Government passed new Workplace Safety Legislation to be implemented by all states and territories as of 1 January 2012, later in some states. 

The legislative changes are relevant to the Community Broadcasting sector as some of the changes affect volunteer organisations.

Safe Work Australia has detailed relevant information on their website and stations should also check the website of their state based WHS authority for further details on the impact of the changes.
