The Australian Workers’ Compensation Statistics reports provide detailed workers’ compensation statistics, including trends over time and statistics on time lost from work and compensation paid. Data are presented by key variables such as industry, occupation, age group and sex. The reports also include information on the circumstances surrounding work-related injuries and diseases.
The Compendium of Workers’ Compensation Statistics publication was discontinued and replaced by the Australian Workers’ Compensation Statistics publication due to a major revision of the publication’s format and a change in the scope of serious workers’ compensation claims. As a result, data in the two publications are not comparable.
