The fact sheet has been developed to encourage gig workers to enquire into their workers’ compensation entitlements and to inform platforms of the general obligations under workers’ compensation law for employers.

As part of the first phase of national initiatives under the National Return to Work Strategy 2020-2030 Safe Work Australia commissioned this independent research reports from Griffith University.

In 2021, the first edition of the Summary of Workers’ Compensation Scheme Developments in Australia was produced. The report will be biennial and is based on input from the New Zealand and the Australian States, Territories and Commonwealth compensation schemes.

Part 3 covers premiums, entitlements and scheme performance.

Part 2 covers WHS compliance and enforcement activities.

Part 1 covers WHS performance. It compares serious claim rates and work-related fatalities across jurisdictions.
