The Department of Commerce advises:
(1) - (2) Safety and Employment Protection comprises WorkSafe, EnergySafety and Labour Relations. Funding to WorkSafe and Labour Relations has remained consistent, although there has been a slight reduction because of the non-continuation of grant monies, while funding for EnergySafety is yet to reflect outcomes for their renewed business case. This adjustment will occur in end year review considerations.
