Keeping your workplace safe is not just a legal obligation—it’s essential for protecting your employees. If you’re a small business in NSW, you may be able to upgrade your workplace safety with support from the SafeWork NSW Small Business Rebate.
What is the SafeWork NSW Small Business Rebate?
The program offers up to $1,000 in rebates to small businesses that invest in eligible safety equipment. The goal is to reduce workplace risks, particularly those related to slips, trips, and falls—the most common causes of serious workplace injuries.
For full details on eligibility and how to apply, visit the SafeWork NSW website.
How Can the Rebate be used?
If you are a small business owner in NSW, the rebate could help you purchase safety items to improve work health and safety for you and your workers. This program is funded and administered by SafeWork NSW. The rebate can go towards a range of safety products, including anti-slip solutions that help prevent falls and create a safer working environment. Eligible items include:
- Anti-slip surface treatments
- Anti-slip treading or matting
- Safe check plates, stair nosing, and anti-slip capping
