A recent decision in the Queensland Supreme Court found that it was unlawful for the health and safety regulator to publish a party's details if the court decides not to record a conviction.
Until this case, Workplace Health and Safety Queensland published details on its website of individuals and corporations who were convicted, irrespective of whether a conviction was recorded in court.
Parties whose details appear on the Queensland health and safety regulator's website can now require them to remove their details where no conviction was recorded. This avoids the party being identified in relation to the conviction via search engines like Google.
