You reap the benefits of improving workplace health and safety sooner, with only claims costs from the previous financial year influencing your policy rating.
• Your premium is calculated using a simplified premium model, based on a claims performance rating
• To help protect you from large variances in premium, if your policy rating changes, it can only increase (or decrease) by one policy rating per year
• First $500 in claims costs is excluded.

• Your policy covers any worker you employ
• Our definition of a worker aligns with ATO
• A person who performs the same work in the same way as an employee is likely to be a worker
• Even where a person calls themselves a 'sub-contractor', has their own ABN and is responsible for their own tax, if you engage them for work, they may be considered a worker under the Act.
WHO IS A WORKER?
A person who works under a ‘contract of service’ is a worker.
It is a standard employer and employee relationship.
