The 22nd Comparative performance monitoring report analyses trends in WHS and workers’ compensation scheme performance across Australia and New Zealand.
The 22nd edition is divided into three parts:
Part 1 covers WHS performance. It compares serious claim rates and work-related fatalities across jurisdictions.
Part 2 covers WHS compliance and enforcement activities.
Part 3 covers premiums, entitlements and scheme performance.
SWA is not a regulator and cannot advise you about WHS issues in the workplace. If you need help please contact your state or territory work health and safety authority.
