We are approved by Comcare to conduct our approved WHS programs without the normal face-to-face requirements.  (For public courses, we use the new (security-upgraded) Zoom platform to conduct these courses.  For in-house courses conducted for specific organisations, we can conduct the course using the virtual conferencing platform preferred by the client.)

Comcare says this is only a temporary arrangement due to the COVID-19 pandemic and that approved delivery strategies and AQF competency requirements must continue to be met.

• In accordance with sec. 72 of the WHS Act, HSRs are able to choose the course they wish to attend in consultation with their employer, including whether they participate in connected, real time delivery or face-to-face learning when it resumes after the COVID-19 period.
• If a participant does not have the appropriate training resources, IT infrastructure and ergonomic work station prior to training commencing, we advise participants to defer attendance until face-to-face training is available.
• HSRs need to be comfortable with their learning environment and participate in HSR training away from any workplace distractions
• HSRs should not be expected to complete their usual workplace duties before or after they have attended training.
