What we do
Through a partnership of government, unions and industry the ASCC leads and coordinates national efforts to:
- prevent workplace death, injury and disease
- improve workers' compensation arrangements, and
- improve the rehabilitation and return to work of injured workers.
The ASCC also:
- provides a national forum for Commonwealth, State and Territory governments, employers and employees to consult and participate in the development of policies relating to OHS and workers' compensation matters, and
- promotes national consistency in the OHS and workers' compensation regulatory framework.
The ASCC is not a regulatory authority and does not make or enforce laws. OHS laws in Australia operate in each of the state, territory and commonwealth jurisdictions, and are administered by jurisdictions’ OHS authorities.
