We asked how the Budget will support WorkSafe to continue to respond to COVID-19, and the Minister responded: WorkSafe will receive $7.7 million in operational funding and $700,000 in capital funding to enforce workplace requirements under the COVID-19 Public Health Response Act 2020. Through a newly established COVID-19 inspectorate, WorkSafe is able to closely examine whether workplaces are providing appropriate COVID-19 support. This dedicated inspectorate will prevent resources being diverted from WorkSafe's other health and safety work.
