Workers Compensation and Occupational Health and Safety Frameworks

The final report of the public inquiry, National Workers' Compensation and Occupational Health and Safety Frameworks. Consistent with its terms of reference, the Commission had recommended a national workers’ compensation scheme to operate alongside those of the States and Territories to directly address the compliance burdens, costs and inefficiencies multi-state employers face in complying with the schemes of each jurisdiction, and a uniform OHS regime based on the existing cooperative national institutional structure.
