Seacare is a national scheme of occupational health and safety, rehabilitation, and workers’ compensation that applies to seafaring employees and others defined under the Seafarers, Rehabilitation and Compensation Act.
The scheme is overseen by the Seafarers Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation Authority (Seacare Authority).

The review is due to report on 22 February 2013.
