Health and safety representative training providers in Western Australia

Health and safety representatives and deputies are required to attend an initial five-day training course provided by an approved registered training organisation to fully exercise their powers and perform their functions. 

Work Health and Safety Commission

The Work Health and Safety Act 2020 provides that health and safety representative training must be delivered through a course of training that is approved by the Work Health and Safety Commission. The conditions that RTOs must operate under when approved to deliver are also set by the WHS Commission.

Renewal of authority to deliver HSR training

The term of authority to deliver HSR training for many RTOs is due to expire in 2025.

Within three months of the expiry, an RTO may apply for renewal using the form at Appendix 3 of the amended Guide.

Date of notice: 25 November, 2024

Updated Guide

Recently an updated version of the Guide: Operating as an approved provider of health and safety representative (HSR) training in Western Australia was published. RTOs were notified about this by email on 13 November 2024 and were sent a change table.

As this document contains the conditions of approval to deliver HSR training, it is important that RTOs are familiar with it. The key change is to the process for renewal of authority to deliver training (page 9).

Date of notice: 25 November, 2024

Reminder

Approved HSR training providers must also be an RTO accredited by the Training Accreditation Council (TAC) or the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA). To ensure your details on HSR Matters display as current,  please notify the WHS Commission if your RTO registration has recently been renewed.

Date of notice: 18 October, 2024
