WorkSafe Tasmania

About Us

WorkSafe Tasmania is a division of the Department of Justice.

We focus on improving workplace safety, health and return to work.

This is achieved by:

  • Investigating workplace incidents
  • Auditing workplaces for compliance with legislation
  • Promoting safer and healthier workplaces and practices through practical guidance and education
  • Promoting prompt and effective return to work through practical guidance and education
  • Processing occupational licences, and more.

WorkSafe Tasmania also has a strong relationship with the WorkCover Tasmania Board, helping the Board fulfil its statutory functions in injury management, work health and safety, and workers compensation.

What We Do

This service charter is WorkSafe Tasmania’s commitment to the service response a client can expect when notifying us of incidents, lodging a complaint, or seeking a response to a work health and safety issue (otherwise referred to here as an intervention request).

The charter covers:

  • Our role and principles for responding to intervention requests
  • The level of service that a client can expect to receive
  • What WorkSafe Tasmania expects of a client during advice of an event.
