Policies

Section 23 of the Workplace Injury Management and Workers Compensation Act 1998 states that WorkCover shall develop policies for injury management, worker rehabilitation and assistance to injured workers. It also requires that the Authority collect, analyse and publish data, as it considers appropriate.

The policy and legislative development capacity of WorkCover was reviewed in 2001–02 with the aim of taking a more systematic approach to organisational improvement. As a result, a Strategy and Policy Executive Management Committee was formed to oversee corporate direction and a Corporate Strategy and Policy Group was established.
