The Committee is responsible for:
- assisting in the development, monitoring and review of health and safety policies and procedures;

- monitoring the University’s work health and safety performance, including the development and implementation of WHS strategic and operational plans;
- reviewing and monitoring any issues associated with injury management of injured staff;
- assisting in the resolution of health and safety issues; and
- providing advice to the Vice-Chancellor on health and safety matters.
