Managing Psychosocial Hazards in Tasmania — Compliance Guide
Tasmania's psychosocial hazard obligations are governed by the Work Health and Safety Act 2012 (Tas) and the Work Health and Safety Regulations 2022, which adopted the SWA model code in January 2023. The hierarchy of controls is not a legal requirement for psychosocial risks in Tasmania, though it is recommended practice. Tasmania follows the model WHS framework closely with no significant jurisdiction-specific variations.
