Purpose

WorkSafe is embarking on a three year Strategic Plan and set of strategic choices that will deliver outcomes aligned to our purpose in reducing workplace harm and improving outcomes for injured workers.

Data & analytics is a critical enabler of the Strategic Plan as it supports accurately targeting workplaces where the most serious injuries and fatalities are predicted to occur, enabling hazards to be identified and risks controlled before workers are harmed, and optimal outcomes for injured workers by identifying, as early as possible, when an injured worker’s recovery is not going to plan, enabling tailored recovery support to be provided to those most in need.

The Intelligence Management Function (IMF) is a centralised data and analytics division, supporting the Strategic Plan agenda and uplift of data & analytics capabilities at WorkSafe.
