The NSW Workers’ Compensation Commission resolves workers compensation disputes. The commission encourages workers and employers to discuss ways of resolving their dispute at all stages of the process.

 

The Office of the ASCC - Who we are

 The Office of the ASCC supports the activities of the ASCC. The Office of the ASCC is part of the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR) portfolio. The Minister for the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations is the Hon Julia Gillard MP.

The Office of the ASCC provides advice on:

• OHS and workers compensation matters, and
• standards review, development and implementation.

The Office of the ASCC also coordinates DEEWR's inter-governmental role in OHS and workers compensation through inter-governmental agencies such as the OECD and ILO.

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.
