Workers’ Compensation from a lived experience perspective

About Workers’ Voice

Workers’ Voice is a research study that aims to re-imagine workers’ compensation in Australia. We are now half way through 3-year study that started in 2023, that recognises that there is opportunity to improve the management and design of workers’ compensation systems so that they can better support workers who have been injured to return to work following a workplace injury or disease. 

Many people who make a claim, find workers’ compensation claim processes stressful and complex and this can contribute to delayed recovery and slower return to work.

The Vision

Understanding people’s lived experience can help to identify problems faced by workers who have made a compensation claim and opportunities to improve workers’ compensation systems.

We invited workers who have made a claim and their family and friends to take part in this study. Collaborating with you, we will develop computer models of new systems based on your lived experience.
