Work Health and Safety Act 2011

If the Territory contravenes a WHS civil penalty provision, the monetary penalty to be imposed on the Territory is the penalty applicable to a body corporate.

For the purposes of a WHS civil penalty provision, any conduct engaged in on behalf of the Territory by an employee, agent or officer of the Territory acting within the actual or apparent scope of his or her employment, or within his or her actual or apparent authority, is conduct also engaged in by the Territory.

If a WHS civil penalty provision requires proof of knowledge, it is sufficient in a proceeding against the Territory for a contravention of that provision to prove that the person referred to in subsection (2) had that knowledge.
