A Social Health Atlas of Compensable Injury in South Australia

A Social Health Atlas of Compensable Injury in South Australia has been produced by the Public Health Information Development Unit at the University of Adelaide. It was commissioned by TRACsa with funding from the Motor Accident Commission and WorkCover Corporation of South Australia. It is the first health atlas to bring population data on compulsory third party and workers' compensation claims together with information on social, economic and demographic characteristics, health status and health service utilisation.
