277 Actions under work health and safety laws permitted
The Work Health and Safety Act 2011, section 115 and a provision of a corresponding WHS law (within the meaning of that Act) that corresponds to section 115 of that Act do not apply in relation to an application under section 273.
Note—
Ordinarily, if an employee who is a worker under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 makes an application under section 273 for an order to stop the worker from being bullied in the workplace, section 115 of that Act and a corresponding provision of a corresponding WHS law would prohibit a proceeding from being commenced, or an application from being made or continued, under that law in relation to the bullying. This section removes that prohibition.
