BETA worked with Safe Work Australia to develop return to work guidance materials for use by supervisors in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs).
We undertook a literature review, stakeholder consultation, data analysis and user-testing to ensure the materials addressed key challenges for SMEs.
Every year, more than half a million Australians sustain a work-related injury or illness. For the employee who becomes injured or ill at work, and for their employer, failed or incomplete return to work can have significant negative consequences. In a previous project, BETA developed guidance materials for the Australian Public Service focused on supporting the supervisor-worker relationship following the illness or injury of a worker.
Used extensively in market research and economics, DCEs have a number of qualities which make them great for analysing and understanding the kind of complex choices people make when they buy a smart device or choose a course of study.
In February 2021, the National Mental Health Commission (the Commission) approached the BETA to help deliver a national survey of mental health-related stigma and discrimination.
The purpose of the survey was to support the Commission to develop and evaluate the National Stigma and Discrimination Reduction Strategy (the Strategy). Selected findings from the survey are included in the Strategy. The purpose of this report is to provide a full description of the survey methods and findings.
The Adult Migrant English Program (AMEP) provides& government-funded English language tuition to migrants with less than a vocational level of English. Not all migrants who are eligible for the AMEP currently enrol in it and those who do, often disengage before exhausting their eligibility.
BETA partnered with the Department of Home Affairs to test whether sending people translated information would increase participation in the AMEP over sending information in English.
