How to use the Agriculture dashboard

The Agriculture dashboard brings together data on work-related fatalities and compensation claims. Use the dashboard to learn about worker fatalities including those on farms, and whether tractors, quad bikes, trucks or other vehicles were involved. Understand the circumstances, nature, and bodily location of work-related injuries (such as upper limb including hands). See data for industry sectors including Mushroom and vegetable growing; Fruit and tree nut growing; Sheep, beef cattle and grain farming; and Dairy cattle farming.

To use the dashboard:

• Select 'Pages' to access the data.
• Apply filters to change the timeframe or claim type (from serious to other claims), or to filter by variables such as age group, sex or location (state or territory).
• Click inside the charts to cross filter other charts on the page (hold 'Ctrl' to select more than one bar).
• View the interactive dashboard help video or dashboard user guide.

Note: The dashboard provides counts, frequency rates, median cost and time lost data. There is a break in series for work-related injury frequency and incident rates from 2021-22. Learn more about the data on the Work-related fatalities data and Workers' compensation data pages.
