In Australia, October is National Safe Work Month which raises awareness of work health and safety across industry.

This year’s theme, Work Health and Safety through COVID-19, acknowledges and reflects the wide-reaching impacts of COVID-19 on Australian businesses, employers and workers.

Individuals, their families and the broader community are all impacted by work-related injury and illness. SafeWork SA reports that last year in Australia around 180 people died while doing their job. In 2017-18 107,000 people made a workers’ compensation claim for serious injury or illness.
