Workplace Safety and Consumer Awareness the Focus of Upcoming Dubbo Roadshow

NSW Fair Trading and SafeWork NSW officers will visit Dubbo next week to offer free information sessions on a range of topics, including workplace safety and consumer awareness. The Fair and Safe Together roadshow forms part of a broader management approach to strengthening safety compliance and consumer protection across regional NSW communities.

What the Roadshow Will Cover

NSW Fair Trading Commissioner and Head of SafeWork NSW Natasha Mann said the Fair and Safe Together roadshow will travel to the Dubbo region on 15 to 17 November to address local consumer and work safety issues.

"Following a successful three days in Wagga Wagga in October, we're bringing the Fair and Safe Together roadshow to the Western Plains community," Ms Mann said.

"Whether you want to know about buying a used car, how your business can access the SafeWork NSW rebates or what the local consumer trends and complaint issues are in Dubbo, there is a session for everyone."

Sessions on Offer

Attendees can expect practical guidance across several key areas, including:

• Consumer rights when purchasing goods or services, including used vehicles
• SafeWork NSW rebates available to eligible businesses
• Workplace health management strategies for local employers
• Psychosocial hazard identification and psychosocial risk management practices
• Regional consumer complaint trends specific to Dubbo

Ms Mann lauded the NSW Fair Trading and SafeWork NSW initiative, describing it as a great opportunity for local employers and consumers to strengthen their understanding of safe work obligations and compliance requirements.

Why This Matters for Local Employers

Effective workplace management remains a priority for organisations across Australia, particularly as psychosocial health concerns gain greater regulatory attention. Sessions like these help businesses translate management theory into everyday compliance action, supporting safer, fairer workplaces throughout NSW.

For technical professionals overseeing safety management systems, this event offers a chance to benchmark local practices against broader NSW guidance and refine internal risk documentation. Businesses seeking deeper resources on safety management can also explore SafetyDocs' Workplace Health and Safety Show for further learning opportunities, or review guidance on reporting hazards in the workplace to strengthen internal compliance processes.
