Work Health, Safety and Wellbeing in the ACT Government
The health, safety and wellbeing of our people is fundamental to the ACT Government’s pursuit of excellence in our service delivery to the ACT Community.
The ACT Government health, safety and wellbeing strategy and supporting work health and safety policies are the framework for how we ensure our people and workplaces are safe, promote health and wellbeing, and support our people to recover after an illness or injury.
If you have become ill or injured at work
You should tell your manager and complete a WHS incident report as soon as possible. You may be eligible for workers' compensation and should talk with your directorate or agency HR or WHS team about other support and services, including early intervention physiotherapy.
If you are an ACT Emergency Services Volunteer
Volunteers within ACT Emergency Services Agency are encouraged to submit a WHS incident report for any incident or near miss whilst undertaking their emergency duties. This will initiate contact from the JACS Directorate to assist with any ongoing support as needed.
You can also contact the CMTEDD Injury Management team on 0262054519 or injurymanagement@act.gov.au for support and assistance.
