Work health and safety (WHS) matters
Notify us of an incident
The ‘person conducting a business or undertaking’ (PCBU) – who is usually the employer – is responsible for reporting notifiable incidents to Comcare.
An incident is notifiable if it results from the conduct of the business or undertaking and causes the death of a person, serious injury or serious illness of a person, or is a dangerous incident.
See Responding to an incident for information on how to notify us and other responsibilities such as preserving the site.
If you are an employer, contact us and your WHS concern or enquiry will be sent to your local state or territory regional director.
Email whs.help@comcare.gov.au or call us on 1300 366 979.
Inform us of a WHS concern
If you are a worker or member of the public, you can inform us of a work health and safety (WHS) concern or contact us if you have a WHS enquiry.
Email whs.help@comcare.gov.au or call us on 1300 366 979.
Workers are encouraged to speak with their employer or health and safety representative (HSR) about their concern in the first instance, if comfortable to do so. This ensures that the employer is aware of the work health and safety concern and provides them with an opportunity to resolve the issue.
After you contact us, we will respond to you within five business days. We will advise you of actions that can be taken and will also let you know if there is another agency or support you can contact.
If you are unable to speak with your employer or HSR, or do not believe that reasonable efforts are being made to resolve the issue, Comcare may assist in facilitating a resolution.
