The Australian Safety and Compensation Council is a federal agency established relatively recently to:
- develop national occupational health and safety (OHS) and workers' compensation policy
- encourage policy discussion and research
- promote consistency in legislation developed by states and territories
In 2008, a National OH&S Review is being conducted for the purposes of exploring the optimal structure and content of a model OHS Act that is capable of being adopted in all jurisdictions
