DATA COLLECTION

It is essential for the sound management of workers compensation cases for timely and accurate data to be available on accidents and injuries.

As I informed Members on 13 September 1994, I am pleased to provide all possible assistance to the Standing Committee on the Public Sector. The Standing Committee has already been provided with information on the legislative framework for workers compensation arrangements in the ACT, based on the Safety Rehabilitation and Compensation Act as well as information on workers compensation generally, including the report of the Industry Commission of February this year. Additional material is being prepared. The ACT Government Service receives regular updates from Comcare Australia of information on claims and this is used by agencies to monitor progress.
