HWCA claims implementation of the Strategy will support and strengthen relationships between governments, agencies, service providers, businesses and employees.
It is envisaged the Strategy will complement initiatives already underway as part of the
National Occupational Health and Safety Strategy 2002 – 2012 and the Safe Work Australia
