Environmental law is complex and imposes a large number of obligations on organisations and workers.

It’s important for you and your organisation to recognise the need to comply with these laws and to maintain appropriate standards of environmental compliance, as breaches carry great penalties, and the legislation applies at both Federal and State and Territory levels.
