The impact of policy, demography and geography on work disability

该项目旨在通过地理、社会经济、人口和职业因素绘制澳大利亚工作残疾负担地图。该项目旨在确定州和地区工人补偿做法对工作残疾的影响，并确定干预的目标群体。预期的结果包括新的见解，国家的工人补偿制度可以用来实施政策实践，减少澳大利亚的工作残疾负担。这一结果反过来将提高国家生产力，并为澳大利亚经济和社会保障体系（如社会保障和医疗保健）带来源源不断的好处。

This project aims to map the burden of work disability in Australia through geographic, socioeconomic, demographic and occupational factors. The project intends to determine the impact of state and territory workers' compensation practice on work disability and identify target groups for intervention. Expected outcomes include new insights which nation’s workers’ compensation systems can use in order to implement policy practices that will reduce the burden of work disability in Australia. This outcome would, in turn, improve national productivity and lead to flow-on benefits for the Australian economy and social protection systems such as social security and healthcare.
