LOCAL KNOWLEDGE. NATIONAL CAPABILITY.
YOUR SCHEME, EXPLAINED
Workers compensation support shaped for the ACT
The ACT private sector workers compensation scheme is privately underwritten by insurers approved by WorkSafe ACT. WorkSafe ACT regulates the scheme; it does not provide insurance or make claim decisions.
For Canberra employers, the correct scheme and policy arrangements matter, particularly when teams also work across the NSW border. WCS can review existing arrangements with your team, coordinate insurer discussions and help align claims oversight with workplace return-to-work priorities.
Where we can help
Focus your team’s time on the matters that need attention.
- Review renewal information, business classifications, wage declarations and insurer service.
- Assess claims that need clearer communication, strategic review or agreed next steps.
- Support injury management and return-to-work coordination with your workplace team and relevant providers.

Specialist support alongside your team
Work with WCS by ABILITY GROUP to connect business, HR, safety and finance priorities. We can provide a targeted review or ongoing support alongside your existing people.
When is an independent review useful?
Seek a review when renewal terms need closer assessment, your business changes, or claim and injury management issues are taking more time than your team can reasonably provide.
We start by discussing your priorities and existing arrangements, then agree a scope of work. This may be a targeted review or ongoing support alongside your team. Recommendations depend on your circumstances; savings and claim outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
QUESTIONS EMPLOYERS ASK
ACT workers compensation FAQs
Does every Canberra employer have the same workers compensation arrangements?
The ACT private sector scheme uses approved private insurers. Other arrangements can apply to Commonwealth and public sector employment. WCS starts by confirming your existing scheme and business circumstances before agreeing the support required.
Do we need to replace our internal HR or safety team?
No. WCS can work alongside your existing team, providing targeted expertise or ongoing coordination where additional support is needed.
What should we have ready for an initial discussion?
Bring a brief outline of your business, the states in which you operate and your main concerns. We will confirm what policy, premium or claims information is needed for the agreed review.
