New funding received from Lloyd's Register Foundation to launch OSH Connect
Healthy Working Lives/Monash University has been announced as one of the four new projects awarded funding from the Lloyd's Register Foundation. Our main project partner is the International Commission on Occupational Health, so this one has a truly global footprint. Lloyd's Register Foundation approved grant funding to Monash University for Enhancing Global Workplace Safety Knowledge: Harmonising International Occupational Safety and Health Datasets..
Following the publication of their 2024 World Risk Poll report, Engineering Safer Workplaces, Lloyd’s Register Foundation has awarded funding to four new projects that are using Poll data to improve occupational safety and health (OSH) around the world. As part of the Foundation’s Global Safety Evidence Centre's work, these projects will create, collate, and communicate new insights based on the Poll data, and work with safety practitioners and at-risk workers to put them into action.
The funding we have received will be used to launch OSH Connect: The Global Occupational Safety and Health Data Platform. Monash University is integrating World Risk Poll data with other international OSH data sources to create a single-source global database of country-level workplace safety statistics. Accessible via an interactive dashboard, it aims to improve risk management, worker and community health by providing practical insights for policy and action.

2024 Wrap
In 2024, the Healthy Working Lives Research Group achieved significant progress across research, education, and community engagement.
A major focus was the ARC-funded Workers’ Voice study, which is reimagining workers’ compensation in Australia. With over 600 injured workers and supporters completing the survey and more than 30 in-depth interviews conducted, the project is already providing valuable insights into the experiences of injured workers. Early findings highlight the urgent need for improved health surveillance and better resource allocation to protect worker well-being and productivity, with full results to be released in 2025.
The team also celebrated strong milestones in research training and supervision, with four PhD students successfully passing their confirmation and two others approaching completion. Their work, spanning various work and health issues, has been recognised through publications in leading journals and presentations at international conferences.
Education remained a cornerstone of the group’s efforts, with postgraduate offerings developed in partnership with the Personal Injury Education Foundation. To date, 105 professionals from over 20 organisations across Australia have graduated from these programs. In 2025, the group is set to expand its offerings with two new short courses.
Research findings were featured on radio and social media, while events like workshops, webinars, and conferences became almost daily fixtures.
A further research highlight was the publication of a national study on the burden of working time lost to compensable occupational injuries and diseases between 2012 and 2017 — a significant contribution to the national conversation on workforce health.
With strong foundations built in 2024, the team looks ahead to 2025 with energy and optimism, driven by continued collaboration and a shared commitment to improving health and work outcomes across Australia.

National Road Safety Action Program Grant
Congratulations to Dr Shannon Gray and team, who have received a grant under the Commonwealth Government's National Road Safety Action Program.
The National Motor Vehicle Crash Injury Compensation Database (NatCrash) project seeks to advance national road safety research and data capabilities by collating data to complement existing road safety data. Road safety statistics generally report fatalities or hospitalisations, and fail to report the majority of injured people who sustain mild-moderate motor vehicle crash injuries. Therefore, current road safety statistics do not encompass the complete motor vehicle crash injury incidence and burden picture. NatCrash seeks to compile and harmonise motor vehicle injury compensation claim data, as well as motor vehicle-related workers' compensation claim data, to develop a national comprehensive database to report on the more complete motor vehicle crash injury incidence and associated burden (such as cost or time away from work). The multidisciplinary research team comprises renowned researchers from Monash University, University of Melbourne, University of Sydney, and University of Queensland.
Here's the Minister's release with all grant scheme recipients.

Workers’ Voice update
Workers’ Voice is a research study that aims to re-imagine workers’ compensation in Australia. We are now halfway through 3-year study that started in 2023, that recognises that there is an 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.
Workers’ Voice has had a successful year in 2024, with significant engagement and data collection from people who have experienced workers’ compensation claims in Australia.
The project has gained interest from a wide range of stakeholders, including regulators, insurers, and healthcare providers.
Key accomplishments in 2024 include:
- Holding information sessions and interacting with injured worker support groups
- Completing a large national survey with 600 participants
- Conducting in-depth interviews with workers and their supporters
- Developing the first edition of a computational model of the current workers’ compensation system
- Creating materials to explain workers’ compensation processes
In 2025, the project plans to:
- Release findings from the data collected in 2024
- Develop a “lived experience model” of workers’ compensation
- Collect more targeted data on specific aspects of the workers’ compensation system
- Increase communication and engagement throughout the year

Major study aims to improve workers’ compensation in Australia
In an Australian first, a Monash University-led study will partner with people who have lived experience of a workers’ compensation claim in order to design better systems.
Professor Alex Collie from Healthy Working Lives Research Group will lead the Australian Research Council-funded Workers’ Voice study in partnership with injured workers and other experts.
Workers’ Voice: Harnessing lived experience to redesign Australia’s workers’ compensation systems will engage workers with physical and psychological injury and illness, and their support networks to design a workers’ compensation system that reflects their experiences, views and preferences.
The research team will use a technique called participatory system modelling to develop and test new design and delivery approaches. The results will provide a vision for a new approach to workers’ compensation that supports the recovery and return to work of Australians with work-related injury or illness.
The study also involves the Australian Centre for Justice Innovation, the University of Melbourne, and the University of Waterloo, as well as numerous injured worker support groups and networks around Australia.
The Workers’ Voice project is expected to run until 2026, with major findings released periodically, beginning in early 2024.

Best Poster presentation
Congratulations to Dr Michael Di Donato (Research Fellow, HWL) who won the Best Early-Mid Career Poster Presentation at the 18th International Forum for Back and Neck Pain Research in Primary Care in Groningen (The Netherlands) recently for his study, Patterns of physiotherapy attendance in compensated Australian workers with low back pain.
"Most Australian workers with accepted workers' compensation claims for low back pain longer than two weeks attend physiotherapy (22,768 or 79.0%). We used trajectory modelling to identify four distinct groups of workers by their number of monthly physiotherapy attendances over two years. While half of workers in our cohort (11,807 workers, 51.9%) attended physiotherapy a median of seven times over a relatively short period, the other half had more than twenty-three attendances over a long period, which may not align with evidence-based recommended practice and may not be driven by clinical need. Significant differences between trajectory groups observed between states also reflects the important role of policy in the delivery of health care." says Michael.
Well done Michael!

DECRA for Dr Shannon Gray
One of our team members, Dr Shannon Gray was awarded with the Australian Research Council (ARC) Discovery Early Career Research Award (DECRA) to investigate the movement of Australians injured in road traffic accidents through the established benefits systems.
With the ultimate goal of reducing the road traffic crash burden in Australia, on individuals, their families, and on the nation's social support systems, the project will determine the impact of pre-claim social factors on compensation system outcomes including claim duration, benefits and costs, and the impact of compensation system design on claim and social outcomes of road traffic crash survivors. Addressing an unmet need, this project will determine the impact of macro-level compensation system design on social and claim outcomes and allows identification of groups at higher risk for poor post-crash outcomes, in whom earlier identification and intervention can improve these, and potentially save the Australian economy $300m annually.
