HSR Work Health & Safety Training Courses

WE ARE NOT RUNNING ANY COURSES.

The CWU offers Comcare Approved Initial Work Health and Safety (WHS) Training for Health and Safety Representatives (HSRs).

The HSR Initial WHS Training Course has been approved by Comcare and is delivered by the union’s Comcare approved trainer. This HSR Initial WHS Training Course is 5 days.

The course provides HSRs with the basic skills and information to represent members in matters relating to health and safety.

Under the WHS Act 2011, Section 72, HSRs are entitled to attend an approved training course with the provider of their choice in consultation with their PCBU. The PCBU must allow HSR to undertake training as soon as reasonably practicable within 3 months of the request. This includes that the participant MUST complete all 5 days of the initial Commonwealth HSR Training within 6 months of their initial commencement date to obtain a Certificate of Attendance. The PCBU must also pay any fees associated with this training.

We encourage all CWU HSRs to attend training delivered by their union.

CWU Grievance Procedure

At CWU we endeavour to make sure that your experience with us is everything you would have hoped. Very occasionally it doesn’t always work out that way. The following is the grievance procedure developed to manage any complaints which may arise from your dealings with us.

• If your matter is in relation to administrative matters (i.e. such as making bookings), raise the matter with our Office at cwu@cwu.org.au
• If your matter is in relation to training matters (i.e. the quality of the venue or delivery of the course), raise the matter with the Training Officer.
• If you are not satisfied with their response, you can raise the matter cwu@cwu.org.au. If the grievance has the potential to affect the Approved Training Providers approval, the matter will also be raised with the ACTU for their consideration.
• The ACTU will be notified of all complaints raised with the Coordinator within 14 days of their lodgement.
• Subject to the nature of the complaint, we commit ourselves to responding to all grievances within a timely manner.
• If following a response from the Coordinator your grievance has still not been resolved, then complaints may be directed to the relevant regulator.
