Our Strategy
The SafeWork NSW Strategic Plan 2024-2029 describes our purpose, objectives and outcomes, what we aim to achieve, and how we will measure our performance.
Compliance with work health and safety laws remains a persistent challenge in NSW. Every day, our inspectors and people provide advice and information to inform workers about their rights and to build capability amongst businesses and leaders.
Where necessary, we enforce compliance and undertake investigations and prosecutions to help secure safe and healthy workplaces.
We take fair and firm regulatory actions to improve both physical and psychological health and safety to prevent work related injuries, diseases and fatalities.
