Free WHS legislation monitoring

Australian WHS legislation monitoring. Completely free.

Legislation Monitor reads Australian WHS Acts, Regulations and Codes of Practice, turns what changes into plain English, rates how much it matters, and links back to the official source. ComplyFlow builds it. You don't need to buy anything or talk to anyone to use it.

01 · The library

Stop tracking WHS law in a spreadsheet.

Legislation Monitor catalogues the Acts, Regulations and Codes of Practice that apply to Australian workplaces, covering the Commonwealth and every state and territory. Follow what's relevant to your organisation and keep it all in a live register, instead of a document you have to remember to update yourself.

A few examples from the catalogue

The catalogue runs to hundreds of instruments. Here are some you'll recognise:

One place, not a spreadsheet

Overall: amber Illustrative example

Follow the Acts, Regulations and Codes of Practice that matter to your organisation and see them all in one register. Once something you follow has a published topic, you set your own status against it. Compliant, non-compliant, or acknowledged for the ones that are informational rather than actionable. The register rolls those up into one overall position. We never compute your compliance for you. Until something publishes, the register simply shows what's being watched. This is an example, not your account data.

Work Health and Safety Act 2011NSW Actionable Compliant
Occupational Health and Safety Regulations 2017VIC Actionable Needs review
Work Health and Safety Act 2011QLD Informational Acknowledged
Radiation Control Act 1990NSW Watching, nothing published yet
Heavy Vehicle (General) National RegulationCommonwealth Watching, nothing published yet

390 catalogued, across all 9 Australian jurisdictions

The Commonwealth and every state and territory. 390 Acts, Regulations and Codes of Practice catalogued and watched for change. Following works across all of it today; a smaller number also have a plain-English analysis, checked by a person before it publishes.

Catalogued totals include instruments outside WHS: food safety, environment and biosecurity Acts that live in the same government registers. Not all 390 are WHS instruments.

02 · How it works

AI reads the change. A person checks it. You get the plain-English version.

We publish deliberately rather than automatically. Nothing appears against an Act until a person has checked it against the source, which is why the library is broad and the published analysis is still deliberate.

01

We watch what regulators and their own bulletins publish

For the Acts, Regulations and Codes of Practice you follow, including the bulletins and guidance notes that often show a change first.

02

Our AI reads it and drafts a plain-English explanation

What changed, tied back to the source it came from, so you can check it yourself.

03

The AI rates how significant the change is

So the one that needs attention today doesn't get buried under the ones that don't.

04

A person on the ComplyFlow team checks it before you ever see it

Nothing publishes automatically. Every one is confirmed or sent back.

05

You read it free, or create an account to follow it

No account: open a published topic page and read the summary. Free account: pick specific Acts, Regulations or topics to follow.

A person reviews everything before it publishes

03 · What's free

Free means free.

Not a trial, and not a limited tier of something you pay for later.

NeverThe raw legislation text. We cite the law, we don't republish it

No credit card. Just email, name and password.

How does ComplyFlow make money from this?

Not from this. ComplyFlow's business is a paid compliance platform for contractors, workers, sites, permits and incidents. Legislation Monitor is free, separate from that platform, and not a trial of it. We build it because a safety manager who has met us here is more likely to talk to us later, and because it's useful whether or not they ever do.

04 · Questions

Straight answers

Q1

Where does the information come from?

We work from official registers and regulator publications, and every update cites a regulator, parliament, or legislation register, never a union notice or a law firm's opinion piece. Every published topic shows its source, so you can judge it yourself.
Q2

Do you republish the actual legislation?

No. We link to the official law and publish our own plain-English summary. The legal text stays on the government register we cite.
Q3

What's actually free, and what needs an account?

Everything you can read without logging in: the plain-English summary, the severity rating, the jurisdiction and category, and the citation linking to the official source. A free account adds "what this means for you" and the full update history. Both are free.
Q4

How is this different from a paid regulatory-intelligence service?

Most of them don't publish a price, so you contact sales to find out what it costs. Here every published topic page can be read without an account: summary, severity, jurisdiction, category and the citation to the official source. A free account adds "what this means for you" and full history.
Q5

Does AI make compliance decisions for me?

No. AI reads the source, drafts the summary and rates the impact. A person checks it before it's published, and your team decides what to do about it.
Q6

Which jurisdictions are catalogued?

All nine, the Commonwealth and every state and territory. Published analysis is still building out and some jurisdictions have none yet; the coverage note in The library says which.
