Comparative Performance Monitoring
In 1997, the Australian Ministers responsible for workplace health and safety established the Comparative Performance Monitoring (CPM) project. The project has the following Statement of Purpose.
Statement of purpose
Provide measurable information to support policy making and program development by Governments on OHS and workers’ compensation, to meet the goal of Australian and New Zealand workplaces free from injury and disease and to enable durable return to work and rehabilitation for injured and ill workers. The information should provide:
(a) measurement of progress against national strategies
(b) identification of factors contributing to improved OHS and workers’ compensation performance (which includes consideration of resources), and
(c) measurement of changes in OHS and workers’ compensation over time, including benchmarking where appropriate.
There are two reports produced under this project. The first is the Comparative Performance Monitoring Report which is a comparison of occupational health and safety and workers’ compensation schemes in Australia and New Zealand. This report is produced annually.
The second report, the Comparison of Occupational Health and Safety Arrangements in Australia and New Zealand each produced every two years.
Both these reports can be accessed at www.workplace.gov.au/cpm
