Controls in ReFresh are shared across frameworks. A single control can satisfy requirements from many frameworks simultaneously, so adding a new framework rarely creates significant additional work.
Activate as many frameworks as your tier allows: Essentials 0, Operate up to 3, Automate unlimited
A single control can map to requirements from multiple frameworks
Activating a new framework surfaces what existing controls already cover and what is missing
Cross-framework mapping is automatic and visible on each control
The Frameworks badge on a control shows the count of frameworks it satisfies
How control sharing works
Each control in the library is mapped to one or more underlying requirements. Each requirement is mapped to one or more frameworks. The result: when you complete the evidence for a single control, that completion satisfies the relevant requirement across every framework that references it.
For example, control GOV-14 ("Run scheduled risk assessments with worker consultation and surveys") satisfies requirements across all of:
ACT Psychosocial Risk Management
Victoria Psychological Health Regulations
Northern Territory Psychosocial Risk Management
Comcare Psychosocial Risk Management
SafeWork Australia Psychosocial Risk Management
ISO 45003 Psychological Health and Safety
NSW Psychosocial Risk Management
Queensland Psychosocial Risk Management
One piece of evidence; eight frameworks satisfied.

Automate | Unlimited active frameworks |
For more on tier features, see "Subscription tiers and what is included" (8.9).
What happens when you activate a second framework
When you activate a second framework on top of an existing setup:
ReFresh maps your existing controls to the new framework's requirements
The Preview Activation dialog shows you what will be Added (new documents and policies the new framework requires) and Retained (existing controls that already cover requirements)
After activation, the Controls page shows new requirements as Needs Evidence for any gaps the existing setup does not cover
The result: minimal new work, maximum coverage.
Seeing which frameworks a control satisfies
Open any control from the Controls page. The Frameworks card on the control's detail page lists every framework whose requirements this control satisfies. Click the badge with a number to expand the full list.
