The Work Health and Safety Commission invites public submissions on the draft Code of practice: Workers’ accommodation.
The Code assists a person conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU) to meet their duties under the Work Health and Safety Act 2020 (WHS Act) in relation to accommodation the PCBU may arrange for workers.
The Code also expands on how PCBUs can reduce the risk of harm to workers through best practice options such as what to include in the fit-out of accommodation, means of communication to loved ones and having recreational facilities.
The WHS Act provides for the approval, variation and revocation of codes of practice by the Minister for Industrial Relations. Under section 275 of the WHS Act, the Minister may only approve a code of practice if it was developed by a process involving consultation between the unions and employer organisations.
Unless advised by the submitter, all submissions may be collectively made available to the public in a consultation summary. Published submissions will be verbatim with the submitter listed.
Submissions close 5.00 pm Friday 26 June 2026
Please use the Public Consultation Submission sheet to make a written submission.
All queries and written submissions can be sent via email to wspublications@lgirs.wa.gov.au
