Content Summary:

There are papers concerning the seminar, 'The injured ethnic - a medical and social problem', held in 1977 and presented jointly by AGWS and the Australia New Zealand Society of Occupational Medicine. There is similar material concerning the Inquiry into Workers Compensation, e.g. correspondence between AGWS and the Australian Council of Trade Unions, as well as press cuttings and AGWS financial documents.
