About the SRCC

The Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation Commission (SRCC) is a statutory body with regulatory functions in relation to Comcare and other authorities which determine workers’ compensation claims under the Commonwealth scheme.

The SRCC is established under the Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 1988 (SRC Act). It also has regulatory functions under the Occupational Health and Safety Act 1991 (OHS Act).

The SRC Act also establishes Comcare which has its own regulatory functions as well as claims management functions. While the SRCC and Comcare each have regulatory roles, most of the regulatory functions in relation to workers’ compensation and occupational health and safety rest with the SRCC.
