Employer survey project

This project provides insight from employers in Comcare’s jurisdiction about their attitudes, experiences and perceptions of Comcare.


2025 survey results

Each year, Comcare surveys employers in its jurisdiction to learn more about their attitudes, experiences and perceptions of Comcare’s performance. This helps us ensure we’re meeting employers’ needs and delivering on our mission to improve workplace health and safety and support injured workers to recover and return to work. Results from this year’s survey are in.

Key findings

  • Satisfaction with Comcare staff remains a key strength, averaging 81%. Notably, satisfaction with staff responsiveness rose 7 points in 2025 to 79% – an all-time high.
  • The perception that Comcare is an effective workplace health and safety regulator has reached an all-time high of 86%, up from 78% in 2024.
  • Employers reported greater engagement with proactive contact from Comcare. Employers also said they were more inclined to contact Comcare when our support was needed.
