Abstract:
The review examined progress against the Strategy’s targets; how stakeholders are using the Strategy; and whether economic pressures, technological changes and demographic shifts over the next five years are impacting WHS and are adequately addressed in the Strategy.
Findings from the review suggest minor amendments to the Strategy:
  • revising discussion under targets and performance indicators to reflect the challenges associated with developing performance indicators for all areas of the Strategy
  • under the priority disorders, the term ‘mental disorders’ should be updated to ‘mental conditions’, and
  • the needs of vulnerable workers and occupational violence could be included as areas for national focus.
