Work related injury

The National Occupational Health and Safety Commission (NOHSC) produces an online queriable database called NOSI – NOHSC Online Statistics Interactive.

This database contains workers’ compensation statistics, based on the National Data Set. The database can produce a variety of reports on the number, incidence and frequency of workers’ compensation claims in Australia.

Note: these statistics largely exclude those workers who are self employed or for whom no workers’ compensation claim is made.
