We would like your expert input to help us understand how these systems work.
Researchers from Monash University and the University of Melbourne are conducting a national study to define how workers’ compensation systems operate across Australia. We would like your expert input to help us understand how these systems work.
This survey aims to:
- Consolidate expert perspectives on how workers’ compensation systems function across States and Territories.
- Identify areas where systems can be strengthened or made more consistent.
- Support the development of consumer and evidence-informed tools for research and policy.
What is this research about?
The purpose of this study is to find out how well people understand typical Australian workers’ injury compensation processes. This information will be used to test and validate an existing computer model of a generic workers’ compensation system.
Who can participate?
Australian adults aged 18 and over can participate.
What will I be asked to do?
Should you agree to participate, you will be asked to complete an online survey once. We estimate that this survey will take you around 40-45 minutes to complete. This survey will present you with 11 sets of diagrams of workers’ compensation processes in the form of a flow-chart. You will be asked to select the one that is most realistic and state why you think this is the case.
COMPLETE THE SURVEY HERE. Open until the end of January 2026.
