The Strategy is a landmark development signifying the commitment of all Australian governments, as well as the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Australian Council of Trade Unions, to work cooperatively on national priorities for improving OHS and to achieve minimum national targets for reducing the incidence of workplace deaths and injuries.
The Strategy was developed by the members of the National Occupational Health and Safety Commission (NOHSC) and reflects their agreement to share responsibility for continuously improving Australia’s performance in work-related health and safety.
