About IDSA

After a Workplace Death

A workplace death is a tragedy
that leaves family members and workmates
shocked, confused and grief-stricken.

IDSA (Industrial Deaths Support and Advocacy Inc) is an organisation established to assist people whose loved ones have died at work, whether in industry
or in any other type of workplace.
Most people involved with IDSA have first-hand experience of the loss associated with a workplace death.

All help from IDSA is free and confidential.
