Working closely with the state of Victoria’s workplace and transport injury compensation regulators, the ISCRR undertakes research in workplace injury prevention, compensation practice, health and vocational rehabilitation. The ISCRR will identify and develop new opportunities to improve outcomes for those injured at work or in transport accidents, and will positively impact compensation scheme performance. The ISCRR’s establishment as an institute of Monash University allows the deployment of a critical mass of research expertise closely linked to the objectives and issues facing both WorkSafe and the TAC. Over time, the ISCRR will lead the development of a culture of injury prevention, rehabilitation and compensation research in Victoria which currently exists in only a small number of leading international jurisdictions.
	The outcomes of ISCRR conducted research will be transferable and of benefit to other workers compensation and compulsory third party transport accident schemes in Australia and internationally. The ISCRR is governed by a board of management comprising WorkSafe, TAC and Monash University representatives. The Board will receive advice and support from a Scientific Advisory Committee comprised of leading Australasian scientific experts and a Research Liaison Committee comprised of senior executives from WorkSafe and the TAC.
