DrDanaë Anderson

The focus of my research practice is on critical, interdisciplinary approaches to workplace health and safety, situated within broader employment relations and public policy contexts. My work examines the gap between regulatory intent and organisational practice, challenging dominant approaches that prioritise compliance and individual behaviour, and instead emphasising the systemic and structural determinants that shape workplace harm. [

I am actively engaged in collaborative and applied research with government agencies, unions, industry bodies, and professional communities. This work is intentionally oriented towards informing public policy, shaping regulatory debate, and improving practice. My research platform is interdisciplinary and partnership-based, enabling sustained engagement with complex  problems and supporting evidence-informed responses to contemporary challenges in workplace health and safety and employment relations.
