We are jointly funded by the Commonwealth, state and territory governments through an Intergovernmental Agreement.
We are an inclusive, tripartite body—we work collaboratively with governments, employers and workers—to drive national policy development on WHS and workers’ compensation matters. We work to:
- coordinate and develop national policy and strategies
- assist with the implementation of model WHS legislation and reform the legislative framework
- carry out and publish research
- collect, analyse and report data.
As a national policy body, we do not regulate WHS laws. The Commonwealth, states and territories retain responsibility for regulating and enforcing WHS laws in their jurisdictions.
