Workers' compensation in Victoria is governed by state-based legislation administered through WorkSafe Victoria, which outlines mandatory employer obligations, claims procedures, dispute resolution pathways, and safety regulations. The legislative framework sets the state's average scheme premium rate (which remains at 1.80%), dictates weekly benefit structures, and establishes strict definitions for work-related physical and psychological injuries. Recent legislative amendments continuously target modernizing scheme sustainability, improving return-to-work support programs, and clarifying eligibility thresholds for mental health and stress-related claims.
