promotes the injury management and vocational rehabilitation of injured workers to help them successfully return to work;
undertakes research and provides statistics in the areas of rehabilitation, injury prevention and noise induced hearing loss;
monitors compliance with the Act to ensure employers are insured for workers’ compensation to their full liability;
regulates and monitors the performance of service providers (e.g. insurers, approved vocational rehabilitation providers) to ensure they deliver an appropriate standard of service to workers and employers;
ensures all workers employed in a prescribed noisy workplace have the necessary hearing tests;
provides a dispute resolution service to resolve disputed workers’ compensation matters; and
registers agreements where parties agree to settle a claim for compensation and agreements and determinations as to the level of a worker's disability prior to civil action.
