Strategic Plan 2024-2028
The Strategic Plan 2024-2028 is a joint initiative of WorkSafe Tasmania and the WorkCover Board Tasmania.
Our vision is safe and healthy work for everyone.
We are dedicated to making work in Tasmania safe and healthy, and supporting those who are harmed at work in their recovery for life and work.
We do this through information, education, advice, compliance monitoring and enforcement.
Our approach is ‘person-led’ – where we recognise that workers know what’s best for them and are able to meaningfully contribute to decisions that affect them.
Our strategic goals are:
- safer and healthier workplaces
- supporting people affected by workplace injuries
- building a collaborative health, safety and injury management culture.
