YOUR SCHEME, EXPLAINED

Workers compensation support shaped for New South Wales

SIRA regulates the NSW workers compensation scheme. Most employers insure through icare, which acts for the Nominal Insurer; specialised insurers and self-insurance arrangements also form part of the scheme.

For NSW employers, the priority is to understand the relevant insurer and claims arrangements, review policy and wage information, and connect claim decisions with workplace action. WCS can help you coordinate those priorities across your business.

Where we can help

Focus your team’s time on the matters that need attention.

  • Review premium movements, business classifications and wage declarations.
  • Prepare for insurer and claims service provider discussions with a clear employer action plan.
  • Review claims where progress, communication or return-to-work arrangements need attention.

Meet our workers compensation specialists

When is an independent review useful?

A renewal that is difficult to explain, a change in business activities, or claims that are not progressing can be a useful reason to seek an independent review.

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

NSW workers compensation FAQs

Can WCS help with icare-related employer issues?

WCS can support employers with premium and policy reviews, claims discussions and return-to-work coordination in the NSW scheme. The scope depends on your policy, insurer and business needs; claim liability decisions remain with the relevant insurer.

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.
