Systems Thinking Incident Review (STIR)

The STIR app has been developed to assist occupational health and safety practitioners to review risk controls following staff injury and is based on Rasmussen’s Accimap technique (check out the STIR app here). WorkSafe Victoria has funded QUT to evaluate the STIR app and information about this trial and its progress can be found on this website.

International Tax in the Digital Age

This research project, led by Professor Kerrie Sadiq, aims to design a blueprint for allocating profits of multinational enterprises between jurisdictions that aligns with profit making activity and reduces opportunities for international tax avoidance.

Optimal Regulation of Voluntary Assisted Dying

Led by Professor Ben White, this research project explores regulation of end of life care and voluntary assisted dying (VAD) and will propose a new optimal regulatory framework for VAD in Australia.
