Welcome to the Comcare Canberra Office, located at 121 Marcus Clarke Street in the beautiful city of Canberra, Australia. As an establishment and point of interest, our institution is dedicated to promoting and ensuring the health and safety of workplaces across the country.

At Comcare Canberra Office, we strive to provide valuable information and resources to both employers and employees. If you are interested in becoming a Health and Safety Representative (HSR) in your workplace, we can provide you with details on eligibility, responsibilities, networks, and training opportunities.

If you have experienced a work-related injury or psychological illness, we can guide you through the process of making a workers' compensation claim. Our team is here to ensure that you receive the support and assistance you need during this challenging time.

To help you understand the costs associated with medical and allied health treatment, we provide information on the upper limits for fees. This knowledge can be crucial for both employers and employees in managing their financial responsibilities.

We also encourage the use of codes of practice to achieve the required safety standards under the Work Health and Safety (WHS) Act and Regulations. By following these guidelines, workplaces can create a safer environment for everyone.

Building a strong network is essential for achieving workplace safety, compensation, and rehabilitation objectives. To facilitate this, we organize various events where you can connect with like-minded individuals and learn more about achieving your goals.

Through education, prevention, and regulation, Comcare Canberra Office aims to improve workplace health and safety. We are also committed to supporting injured workers in their recovery journey and helping them get back to work.

Our CEO, Greg Vines, joined Comcare in April 2023 after an impressive tenure as the Deputy Director-General of the International Labour Organization in Geneva. Under his leadership, we continue to strive for excellence in our mission.

In recent news, the Department of Defence has been charged with breaching federal work health and safety laws after two soldiers were attacked by a crocodile in a remote location. This incident highlights the importance of maintaining strict safety measures in all workplaces.

To further enhance awareness and build manager capability in designing good work, Comcare has produced a suite of free micro learning modules (micro learns). These resources are available to help raise awareness and improve workplace practices.
