From January 1, 2022 there will be changes to the WA Work Health and Safety Act (2020) that increase duty of care responsibilities for workplaces and for OHS professionals. In response to the anticipated need to upskill people in OHS-related roles, we've created a specialist stream within our online Graduate Certificate course.
In this stream, you'll study one core unit in Workplace Health and Safety Law, plus two elective units from a range of topics tailored to varying OHS roles and responsibilities. View course page.
