Kangaroo Island Bushfire Response

In reply to Ms BEDFORD (Florey) (2 February 2021).

The Hon. V.A. TARZIA (Hartley—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services): I have been advised by the South Australian Fire and Emergency Services Commission (SAFECOM):

1. Yes. There have been six reviews and investigations into the 2019-20 South Australian Bushfire season, including a review into burn over incidents. There is no agreement between SAFECOM and SafeWork SA negating any legislative requirements.

2. There is no such agreement. The Work Health and Safety Act 2012 (SA) is applicable to all personnel in the Emergency Services Sector.
