Institute for Safety Compensation and Recovery Research

The Institute for Safety Compensation and Recovery Research (ISCRR), is a joint initiative of WorkSafe Victoria and Monash University. ISCRR aims to develop, conduct and translate research that has an impact and leads to positive change in practice or policy. It works across five broad areas: safe and healthy workplaces, evidence-informed claims management, primary health care, smart independent living environments and improving trauma care.

2021 was a full year for ISCRR: The knowledge building Thought Leadership series and Program Logic workshops for WorkSafe staff commenced, the Research Insights Library was launched, 50 presentations were delivered to stakeholders, and the Learning Series webinars for all stakeholders began, with the inaugural session centred on systems-thinking to prevent workplace injuries.
