This course for Health Safety Representatives has replaced the previous OHS Consultation course 90502NSW under the previous OHS Act 2000 in NSW and QLD. During 2012 all States and Territories will be moving from the old OHS Consultation course under the old OHS Act 2000 to the new Health and Safety Representative Course under the new Work Health and Safety legislation where current Representatives or committees members will need to complete the national Health Safety Representative training courses as described under the new Work Health and Safety Act 2011.
