We have published a one-year performance update based on the targets set out in the Australian Work Health and Safety Strategy 2023-2033 (the Strategy).

Safe Work Australia Members are focussing on the action-based targets that address exposures in the workplace to psychosocial hazards and harmful substances.

The data used in the one-year performance update represents the latest information available in 2024. Further years of data are required before a trend can be established.
