SafeWork NSW is undergoing an exciting and important period of transformation as we establish the organisation as a modern, strong and standalone Work Health and Safety Regulator.

About the team

SafeWork NSW Operations Regional directorate has a strategic approach to supporting safe, healthy, and productive workplaces in Regional NSW.
