About the Commonwealth Safety Management Forum
The Commonwealth Safety Management Forum is an industry group for Commonwealth, Australian Capital Territory and associated
agencies which exists primarily to facilitate strategic advice to member agencies on Occupational Health & Safety (OH&S),
return to work, premium management, and associated training and education.
Its other objectives include providing a forum for the exchange of ideas and experience; providing the Safety, Rehabilitation
and Compensation Commission (SRCC) and Comcare with input and advice on technical and policy/guideline development; and
providing an industry view to government and the SRCC on legislative provisions and their impact on member agencies.
The Forum membership comprises 71 member agencies from the Commonwealth and Territory governments and Government Business
Enterprise (GBE) arena. Its mail list includes over 90 personnel from across Australia. At its regular general meetings,
held four times per year, members exchange information, and listen to guest speakers dealing with topical OH&S issues.
Representatives from Comcare provide updates to every meeting on latest developments in prevention and rehabilitation.
The Forum has an active role in preparing policies, procedures, and guidelines to address common OH&S needs identified
by member agencies. These documents are developed through small working groups comprised of member agencies, and the outcomes
are circulated widely to the membership for comment prior to adoption.
