17   WHS Act prevails

(1)  The provisions of the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 and the regulations under that Act prevail, to the extent of any inconsistency, over the provisions of this Act and the regulations under this Act.

Note. For example, if a provision of this Act deals with a certain matter and a provision of the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 deals with the same matter and it is not possible to comply with both provisions, then a person must comply with the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 and not with this Act. If provisions of both Acts deal with the same matter but it is possible to comply with both provisions, then a person must comply with both Acts.
