**WHS Brief** tracks work health & safety legislative change across Australia, every amendment, commencement and proposal moving through Commonwealth, state and territory WHS/OHS law, plus New Zealand developments, relevant Australian Standards and notable WHS court decisions.

Each week we cover all nine Australian jurisdictions National (Safe Work Australia & Comcare), NSW, VIC, QLD, WA, SA, TAS, ACT and NT. 

### What you get free, right here on the blog

Occasional explainers and context pieces on significant WHS developments the kind of thing that's useful on its own, without needing the full weekly detail.

### What's in the weekly brief

Full subscribers get the complete weekly rundown: every jurisdiction, a "three to watch" summary of the week's most significant developments, New Zealand's WHS-equivalent changes, curated new & updated Australian Standards and notable court/tribunal decisions, each item sourced and linked back to the regulator, court record or legal publisher.

This week's three to watch, as a taste of the format:

- **National** — Safe Work Australia has released new guidance confirming AI, automation and workplace monitoring must be managed as WHS hazards under existing duties.
- **SA** — South Australia's first industrial manslaughter prosecution has commenced, over an allegedly disabled machine interlock guard that led to a worker's death.
- **NT** — NT WorkSafe has confirmed electrical-safety and WHS red-tape reforms, including regulations repealed outright and a higher construction-project financial trigger.
