Legislation on Legionella control

The Public Health Act and Regulation define the roles, responsibilities and basis for managing cooling water systems and other regulated systems in NSW:

​​The regulatory approach for cooling water systems in NSW is based on the 2011 edition of the Australian/New Zealand Standard (AS/NZS) 3666 Parts 1, 2, 3 and 4. These documents are available from Standards Australia.

A licence from NSW Fair Trading may be required before any design, installation and maintenance of cooling water systems can be carried out. Further information can be obtained from NSW Fair Trading.
