A quick review of what Safe Work Australia has achieved in the past year to help improve the lives of 12.5 million working Australians.

Each year preventable work-related injuries and illnesses costs the Australian economy $61.8 billion. As a national policy body, Safe Work Australia works to shape healthier, safer and more productive workplaces for all Australians.

To help you better understand our Annual Report 2017-18, we have compiled a short video highlighting what we have achieved over the past year and celebrating how our workplace has changed for the better!

For more information, view the full Safe Work Australia Annual Report 2017-18.
