Changes to WA workers compensation industry premium rating classifications

The changes will ensure Western Australia has codes in place consistent with other workers' compensation jurisdictions.

AustraliaEmployment and HR

The WorkCover WA Board has approved use of industry premium rating classifications based on the Australian and New Zealand Standard Industrial Classification (ANZSIC) 2006 for policies effective from 30 June 2018 (previously based on ANZSIC 1993). This will ensure Western Australia has codes in place consistent with other workers' compensation jurisdictions. Employers and brokers will need to prepare for these changes before they come into effect.

Introducing ANZSIC 2006

WorkCover WA has made minor modifications to ANZSIC 2006 where industry classes have similar economic activities but a significantly different workers' compensation risk. These industry classes have been identified and allocated separate industry codes (WA-specific codes). For a comprehensive list of all ANZSIC 2006 industry codes, including the WA-specific industry classes, click here.
