Congratulations! Because of the pressure you put on our Federal MPs, we’ve had a win on OH&S law.

Police now have a guarantee they’ll be covered by the new Occupational Health and Safety scheme.

The Deputy Prime Minister has confirmed in writing that the “jurisdictional note” that would have seen police exempt from the protection of OH&S law when attending the most dangerous of jobs was not intended to apply in NSW  - you can see her letter here. Police Minister Michael Daley has confirmed that NSW will not enact this section in NSW law.

This is a huge victory for the police of NSW and their families.

Thank you for your support on this issue – it’s because of the pressure you put on our MPs to deliver that our police now have the coverage they deserve.

Thanks again.

Kind regards,



Scott Weber
Vice President
Police Association of NSW
