Employer responsibilities for incident notification
The Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (Cth) (WHS Act) requires a person conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU) to ensure that Comcare is notified immediately after becoming aware that a notifiable incident has occurred which arises out of the conduct of its business or undertaking.
