The Code Register Pack
Your document library aged badly this year, and nobody sent you a memo.SafeWork NSW approved fourteen Codes of Practice between February and May 2026, three of them replacing documents from 1997, 2006 and 2009. Queensland varied its concrete pumping Code. South Australia dropped the high risk construction work fall threshold to two metres. None of that arrives as a letter in the post.So the question is simple, and most HSEQ managers cannot answer it quickly: do the Codes your SWMS actually cite still exist?This is the register that answers it.What's inside270 construction-relevant rows across every Australian WHS and OHS jurisdiction. Safe Work Australia's model Codes, NSW, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia, Tasmania, the Northern Territory, the ACT and the Commonwealth. Every row was transcribed from the regulator's own index page on 1 August 2026, with the date exactly as that regulator publishes it.Filtered for construction, and the filter is visible. Each row is labelled either Construction-specific (81 rows: construction work, demolition, excavation, formwork, scaffolding, precast and tilt-up, roofs, concrete cutting, cranes, elevating work platforms, work near electric lines) or Applies on every site (189 rows: asbestos, silica, plant, confined spaces, falls, noise, hazardous chemicals, psychosocial). Agriculture, forestry, healthcare, diving, mining, amusement devices, cash in transit and fireworks are gone, because you were never going to cite them.A trade mapping tab. Seventeen construction scopes, from roofing and concrete cutting to formwork, precast, confined space and fitout, each with the Codes that bite on it and a line explaining why. Filter to the trades you actually do and you have your shortlist in about a minute.A document currency audit checklist. Eleven steps to run against your controlled document list, each with a plain description of what a finding actually looks like. Tick-box column and a live counter.A review schedule. What to check monthly, quarterly, six-monthly, before a tender, before an audit, before mobilising to a new builder, and after an incident. So this stays a live control instead of a one-off tidy-up.A sources tab. The legal framework for each jurisdiction, the exact regulator index each list came from, and a count per jurisdiction. Check our work.The honest bit, because it mattersOnly three regulators print a date against each Code on their index. NSW gives you a month and year, Queensland gives commencement and variation dates, Victoria gives a published date. South Australia, Western Australia, Tasmania, the Northern Territory, the ACT and Safe Work Australia publish no date at all.Where a date is not published, this register says "not published on index". It does not guess, and it does not scrape a date out of a PDF filename and dress it up as a fact. You are buying an accurate map of what the regulators actually publish, which is more useful than a tidy-looking one that quietly invents the gaps.Who it's forThe subcontractor HSEQ manager who inherited a SWMS library nobody has audited since the last restructure. The builder-side HSEQ manager who reviews other people's documents and wants a fast way to spot a superseded citation. The small business owner who does not have a compliance team and needs the expertise encoded rather than explained.What you get on purchaseHSEque-Code-Register-Pack.xlsx, six tabs, unprotected. Instant download, free updates when the register is refreshed, and a 30-day money-back guarantee.Not legal adviceThis is a general reference for Australian HSEQ professionals, not legal advice. WHS and OHS duties differ between states and territories and change over time. Victoria runs the OHS Act 2004 and approves compliance codes, not codes of practice. Always check the current Act, Regulation and regulator publication for your jurisdiction, and seek your own professional or legal advice before relying on anything here.Open three SWMS at random and check what they cite. If you cannot tell in under a minute whether those Codes still exist, this pack pays for itself the first time you use it.
