In August 2019, Premier Mark McGowan gave a firm commitment for WA to join nearly every other State and Territory in implementing the harmonised Model WHS Act, Regulations and other subsidiary legislation. The WA Government intends to combine three areas of existing State safety and health law into a single WHS Act, based on the Model WHS Act. Public comment closed on 26th November, and on December 9, 2019 the Work Health and Safety Bill 2019 was introduced in WA parliament.
