This data provides trend information about WHS and workers’ compensation scheme performance by jurisdiction and nationally. The data explores: WHS performance: trends in work-related fatalities and serious claims including counts, incidence rates, frequency rates, duration of compensated absence, mechanism of incident, and industry. WHS compliance and enforcement activities: workplace interventions, inspectorate activity, safety notices, enforceable undertakings, legal proceedings and fines. Workers' compensation premium rates: industry standardised averages providing a comparison of the cost of workers' compensation insurance across industries. Funding ratios: standardised ratios providing an indication of the adequacy of the scheme to meet future claim payments. Workers' compensation disputes: disputes against insurer’s decisions, as a proportion of active claims. To find out more about the key aspects of each Workers’ Compensation scheme see the Comparison of workers’ compensation arrangements in Australia and New Zealand. Please note that this data was previously covered in a written Comparative performance monitoring report. This has since been decommissioned as the data is available on the jurisdictional comparison dashboard and the downloadable file below. This data has been compiled and coordinated by Safe Work Australia with assistance from representatives of all WHS and workers’ compensation authorities in Australia.

This has been done due to use of different definitions and workers’ compensation scheme rules across jurisdictions. This dataset does not include data from organisations with responsibility for managing industry-specific compensation claims. Some data (where noted) is preliminary. Comparisons of preliminary and non-preliminary data should be made with caution. ꭞ While Safe Work Australia holds data for these topics since the 2004-05 financial year, the data collection and reporting has been reviewed over this time which may result in breaks in time series.
