The National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) carries out the following activities to ensure the health and safety of visitors and service providers in the NSW alpine resorts:
- regulate food safety
- monitor drinking water quality
- control disease carriers such as Legionella, rodents, flies, cockroaches, mosquitoes, ticks, bats, bed bugs and lice
- pest management
- regulate spa and swimming pool quality
- ensure suitable accommodation conditions
- work with other organisations to ensure health and safety at events and large gatherings
- approve modifications and new work at commercial kitchens and public spas

We also work with other government agencies to respond to issues such as asbestos, pollution, chemical fuels and spills and wastewater.
