FAQs
How much time do I have to comply with an improvement notice?
A: The due date is printed on the notice, typically a couple of weeks from the date issued. It’s important to start action immediately.
Can I get an extension on a WorkSafe improvement notice?
A: Extensions are possible but rare. They must be requested before the due date, with valid reasons and evidence of steps taken. Acting early improves your chances — RAS-OHS can help prepare your request.
Can I challenge an improvement notice?
A: Yes — through WorkSafe Victoria’s Internal Review Unit (IRU). Challenges must be lodged within strict timeframes and supported by clear evidence. RAS-OHS can guide you through the process, with more detail discussed based on the specific risks and notice issued.
What happens if I don’t comply in time?
A: You may face further enforcement, such as prosecution and fines, along with possible operational disruption.
Do you deal directly with WorkSafe for me?
A: You remain the contact for WorkSafe, but RAS-OHS ensures your responses are clear, compliant, and supported with the right evidence.
What industries do you work with?
A: We work with both public and private sector organisations, including SMEs, councils, manufacturing, construction, NDIS providers, and care sectors such as aged care and health care — anywhere Victorian OHS law applies.
