Institute for Safety, Compensation and Recovery Research (ISCRR) – research-policy partnership

A research-policy partnership between WorkSafe Victoria, the Transport Accident Commission (TAC) and Monash University. ISCRR aims to develop, conduct and translate research that has an impact and leads to positive change in practice or policy.
