Multinational and multi-state organisations layer jurisdiction-specific frameworks per group, with rollup to a single organisational view. The configuration is set on the framework after activation; specific path is pending product team confirmation.
Configuration is per group, not per individual user
Activate the relevant frameworks first, then scope each to the right group(s)
ReFresh always defaults to the highest applicable standard across activated frameworks
A user assigned to multiple groups inherits the frameworks each group is scoped to
The org-wide rollup view is unaffected: it always shows the union of all activated frameworks
(Confirm internally: the exact UI path to configure framework scope per group has not been validated. The capability pack describes the feature; the screen has not been screenshotted in the help centre rebuild.)
When per-group configuration matters
Use per-group framework configuration when your organisation has:
Multi-state operations: a head office in NSW and a manufacturing site in Queensland, each subject to its state's psychosocial regulation
Multi-jurisdictional operations: an Australian parent company with a New Zealand subsidiary
Different sector requirements: a regulated entity (Comcare) operating alongside a non-regulated subsidiary
Per-group scoping ensures workers and managers see only the requirements that apply to them, while the organisation-level rollup shows the full picture.
How highest-applicable-standard works
When multiple frameworks apply to the same group (for example, Comcare and ISO 45003 for a federal agency), ReFresh aligns to the highest applicable standard. This means:
The most stringent requirement wins
The control register reflects the strictest version
Evidence that satisfies the strictest version automatically satisfies less strict variants
The result: you do not maintain separate control sets per framework. One stricter set covers everything.
Setting up per-group framework configuration
The recommended sequence is:
Set up your groups (Settings → Groups). See "Creating and managing groups" (2.2).
Activate the frameworks that apply to your organisation as a whole.
Scope each framework to the relevant group(s) using the framework's configuration view.
If you cannot locate the per-group scope option, contact your ReFresh account contact.
Rollup behaviour
Regardless of how frameworks are scoped per group, the organisation-level views (Reports, Compliance Dashboard, Board Report) show the union of all activated frameworks. This means an Organization Admin always sees the full compliance posture; group admins see only their group's posture.
