Working Together

Working Together is a three-year strategy to secure improvements in the public sector's health and safety performance with a specific focus on injury management.

It builds on the progress made by public sector agencies in establishing workplace safety management systems since the Government released Taking Safety Seriously , the Government's OHS and injury management policy and guidelines.

Five key action areas have been developed in discussion with public sector agencies and unions to achieve our improvement targets. They are based on the principles of:

• building stronger commitment by all levels of management,
• promoting participation by public sector workers in improvement strategies, and
• enhancing the capability of agencies to better manage OHS and the care of injured workers, and a greater focus on measuring performance and ensuring better outcomes.
