This Comcare inspector report (reference MC00038109, template V7.0) concerns the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) and its Enterprise Service reform, which targeted a 25% reduction in labour and operating costs. Comcare inspected from 9 April 2025 after allegations that psychosocial risks from the reform were poorly managed. The inspector found no non-compliance with the WHS Act or Regulations, but found CSIRO's psychosocial risk assessments somewhat generic and noted limited staff understanding of the Donesafe platform. The report makes eight non-binding recommendations on consultation, change impact statements, post-change evaluation and manager training. It also sets out duties to consult with workers and health and safety representatives. The release is a full, unredacted copy with only inspector identity details withheld.
