Independent review into WorkSafe can't find if agency is reducing harm

From Morning Report, 8:39 am on 17 August 2022

An independent review of WorkSafe cannot say whether the agency is reducing workplace harm or is cost effective.

The review was ordered by the Minister for Workplace Safety and Relations, Michael Wood, last year after the health and safety watchdog complained it did not have enough funding to carry out all its responsibilities.

Investigative journalist Anusha Bradley has been looking at the report.
