Comcare is progressively replacing its publications to reflect the new laws.  We expect these to be completed soon.

Therefore, please be aware that there may be some references on Comcare’s website and in Comcare’s publications to the old, ‘occupational health and safety’ legislation referred to above.

Our new work health and safety publications will be easily identifiable but if you have difficulty locating these, or have any questions about the content of older publications, please call Comcare on 1300 366 979.
