Memorandum of Understanding

Workplace Standards Tasmania and WorkCover Tasmania often provide services to the same clients. The work of both organisations needs to be co-operatively linked (where appropriate), and undertaken with a clear understanding and agreement about the roles and responsibilities each has when providing services to Tasmanian workplaces.

This is a working agreement to be implemented at all levels in both organisations. It covers:

• roles and responsibilities of the WorkCover Advisory Services and the Workplace Standards Inspectorate
• communication between the two organisations
• protocols for Advisory Services and Inspectorate program development 
• organisational policy and legislative obligations
• training
• dispute resolution
• review process
• joint management
• sharing of information.
