Abstract: The final report of the public inquiry, National Workers' Compensation and Occupational Health and Safety Frameworks. Consistent with its terms of reference, the Commission had recommended a national workers’ compensation scheme to operate alongside those of the States and Territories to directly address the compliance burdens, costs and inefficiencies multi-state employers face in complying with the schemes of each jurisdiction, and a uniform OHS regime based on the existing cooperative national institutional structure.
