'Working Safely In Community Services' - 2nd Edition
Community services workers play a vital role in caring for our people and helping to maintain a quality of life expected in Australian society, often in challenging and confronting circumstances.
This publication is based on the Community Services Safety Pack developed by WorkCover New South Wales in consultation with its community services organisations, including the Council of Social Services of New South Wales (NCOSS).
This version has been developed to ensure compliance with Victorian law and to incorporate helpful contact information. Consultation with Victoria’s community services peak bodies and relevant government departments informed its adaptation.
Please note: if your organisation provides homecare services you should also refer to the Victorian Home Care Industry Occupational Health and Safety Guide that specifically covers home maintenance, meals on wheels, respite, attendant care and personal care.
Contents in this publication cover the following areas:
- Health and safety basics
- Managing OHS in your workplace
- Checklists and tools
- Managing accidents and claims
- Resources and links
PLEASE NOTE: This is a Victorian Worksafe publication. Legislation does differ between the various states and territories and we recommend that you check that the information is relevant to your state when reading this publication.
