Jurisdictional Comparison

This dashboard provides trend information about WHS and workers’ compensation scheme performance by jurisdiction and nationally. Use the dashboard to explore: 

• 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. 

You can apply filters within the dashboard to select specific jurisdictions and financial years.  

Note: Comparisons across jurisdictions should be made with caution due to the differences in workers’ compensation scheme design, coverage, definitions and processes. To find out more, see the Comparison of workers’ compensation arrangements in Australia and New Zealand. Learn more about the data on the Jurisdictional Comparison data page.
