What matters for commercial trades in Melbourne

  • Victoria is the only state still outside the national work health and safety laws, so asbestos duties here sit under the Occupational Health and Safety Regulations 2017 and are enforced by WorkSafe Victoria rather than under the model WHS regulations.

  • Victorian cooling tower systems are registered with the Department of Health, not the council. Water must be tested for Legionella at a NATA approved laboratory at least every three months and for heterotrophic colony count at least monthly, and the department must be told within 24 hours when Legionella is detected above the threshold.

  • Victoria has no annual fire safety statement. Instead regulation 223 of the Building Regulations 2018 requires an Annual Essential Safety Measures Report to be prepared within 28 days before each anniversary of the building's first occupancy permit or maintenance determination that required a safety measure.
