        <text id="2012062930d4dad120df434890000066">1.&amp;#x9;SafeWork SA undertakes significant compliance and enforcement campaigns, all of which have a preventative and educative dimension.</text>
        <text id="2012062930d4dad120df434890000067">It is not helpful to carve off a proportion of SafeWork SA's budget as being dedicated to one component of activities when the entire effort of the organisation is about supporting principles of safe and fair work.</text>
        <text id="2012062930d4dad120df434890000068">If the honourable member is referring specifically to the proposed work health and safety legislation, the honourable member should be aware that the legal duties of the proposed legislation are no different to those that are in place now.</text>
        <text id="2012062930d4dad120df434890000069">Accordingly, there is no significant change to their obligations. Notwithstanding this, SafeWork SA has provided information and guidance on nationally harmonised work health and safety legislation.</text>
        <text id="2012062930d4dad120df434890000070">SafeWork SA's education program, which is ongoing and integral to service delivery, incorporates this information.</text>
