About the Centre
The National Research Centre for Occupational Health and Safety Regulation is a research centre within the Regulatory Institutions Network (RegNet), in the Research School of Social Sciences, at the Australian National University. The Centre is funded by the National Occupational Health and Safety Commission (NOHSC). The aims of the Centre are to: • conduct and facilitate high quality empirical and policy-focused research into OHS regulation, consistent with the National OHS Strategy; • facilitate and promote groups of collaborating researchers to conduct empirical and policy-focused research into OHS regulation in each of the States and Territories; • facilitate the integration of research into OHS regulation with research findings in other areas of regulation; • produce regular reports on national and international developments in OHS regulation; • develop the research skills of young OHS researchers; and • assist in the development of the skills and capacities of staff of the NOHSC Office. In order to achieve these aims the Centre undertakes research, supports a consortium of OHS regulation researchers in Australia, assists in the development of skills and capacities of staff of NOHSC staff and collaborates in research programs with other Australian and international researchers and research centres.
