Work health and safety for the mining industry is not dealt with the same way across Australia. Some jurisdictions, for example, Victoria, regulate mining through its WHS laws, whereas in Queensland for example, mining is dealt with exclusively under mining safety laws.
Further information on the arrangements in your jurisdiction can be found on the Mining page.
