Frequently asked questions

for Workers Compensation

In NSW, the following factors are used to calculate workers compensation insurance premiums:

Industry in which the employer operates;
Annual wages paid to employees; and
Claims and wages costs over 3 years (if your premium is greater than $30,000)

If you are a small employer, i.e. your average performance premium is less than or equal to $30,000, your premium will not be impacted by the costs of your workers compensation claims. However, small employers are still required to meet obligations as an employer under the Return to Work Guidelines and promote return to work by providing suitable duties to the injured worker.
