Professional advice, compliance and endorsement

This course has been independently reviewed by the Australian Healthcare and Hospitals Association (AHHA).

It has been designed to comply with best practice national health and safety standards. Terminology has been chosen for clarity and ease of comprehension across jurisdictions. For example, ‘employer’ has been used to signify the broader term ‘PCBU’, while ‘WHS’ represents both work and occupational health and safety.

This training is not a substitute for professional advice. If you need specific advice about your particular situation, you should always consult a suitably qualified professional. Always follow the internal policies of your organisation.

A Certificate of Completion is issued on successful completion of the course and you are required to get an 80% pass mark to be deemed as understanding the content. It is recommended that training is conducted every 2 years to stay refreshed.
