OHS and workers' compensation

Ai Group welcomes the focus of the Federal and State Governments in working towards a system of harmonised OHS legislation across Australian states and territories. Ai Group is committing significant resources to this review to ensure we get the best possible outcome for members.

Ai Group provides a range of OHS and workers’ compensation services to our members. We help members manage their OHS obligations by identifying risks in the workplace, creating a safe work environment and keeping them up-to-date with Government regulations. See the OHS and Workers' Compensation section of the Ai Group members' only reference guide, BIZassistManual, which is regularly updated with information on OHS and workers’ compensation across Australia. Read the information for your state: NSW, VIC, QLD, SA.
