This data provides trend analysis and aggregated information about workers’ compensation scheme performance in each Australian jurisdiction and New Zealand. This data is collated across several categories: Work health and safety performance – provides an overview of WHS performance across Australia and New Zealand through analysing trends in serious claim rates and work-related fatalities across jurisdictions. Work health and safety compliance and enforcement activities – includes a jurisdictional comparison of workplace interventions, inspectorate activity, safety notices, enforceable undertakings, legal proceedings and fines. Workers’ compensation premiums – includes a national and jurisdictional overview of the standardised average premium rates by industry in the past 5 years. Workers’ compensation funding ratios – compares the differences in scheme funding arrangements. Workers’ compensation disputes – includes information about disputes against an insurer’s decision or decisions relating to compensation. Readers may find the Comparison of workers’ compensation arrangements in Australia and New Zealand useful in comparing the differences in key aspects of each Workers’ Compensation scheme. This data is also available in the Comparative performance monitoring report 25th edition. This data has been compiled and coordinated by Safe Work Australia with assistance from representatives of all WHS and workers’ compensation authorities in Australia and New Zealand.
