Emergency Services Legislation in Western Australia
Community Development and Justice Standing Committee (2001 - 2005)· 7 November 2002general_report
A WA parliamentary committee investigated emergency services legislation, finding WA is the only state without it. The report recommends enacting an Emergency Management Act, including drafting instructions in the appendix. The lack of legislation poses risks to emergency workers and the public.
Impact
Emergency service workers, volunteers, local governments, and the general public are affected. The Act aims to improve safety and legal clarity during emergencies.
