Module Overview

WHAT THIS MODULE IS ABOUT.

Compliance training is the bit every Australian business knows it has to do — and the bit most do badly. A policy gets emailed around. A box gets ticked. And then something goes wrong, and it turns out nobody actually understood the rule they signed off on. Here's the uncomfortable truth: handing someone a Code of Conduct isn't training, and a regulator knows the difference. Under the Work Health and Safety Act, your duty is to provide genuine information, training and instruction — not just a document and a signature. MTA's Workplace Compliance modules turn obligations into understanding. Every module covers a real legal duty in plain language, with scenarios from actual Australian workplaces — so your people know what the rule means on a Tuesday afternoon, not just what it says in the handbook.

It suits both experienced managers looking to sharpen specific areas and newer leaders building their foundations. No prior training or qualifications are required.

The Pain Points

WHAT PROBLEM IT SOLVES.

Sound familiar? These are the everyday frustrations this module is built to fix.

Everyone Nodded. Nobody Changed.
The annual harassment module gets clicked through at lunch to generate a certificate. Then a complaint lands, and it's clear nobody internalised a thing — managers don't know their positive duty to prevent sexual harassment, bystanders stay silent, and the reporting pathway is a mystery. Compliance on paper, exposure in reality.
The Training Gap That Creates Liability
A new contractor starts on the floor. WHS induction was a 10-minute talk-through and a signature. Three weeks in, something goes wrong. The investigation finds the 'training' was a document handed over, not information understood. The PCBU's duty of care is now under the microscope.
Out-of-Hours Contact Nobody Thought Was a Problem
A team leader keeps emailing and calling staff well into the evening. He's not being malicious — he's just busy, and nobody told him about the Right to Disconnect provisions that now apply to every business. A grievance is raised. He's genuinely shocked. The exposure was entirely avoidable.

The reporting culture works
People know how to raise concerns — and trust they'll be supported when they do.
Respect becomes the default

Yes. The WHS Act 2011 requires employers to provide information, training and instruction so staff can work safely. Other laws add further duties.
